quotes - !RENA.H

"Tonight I met Irena Huljak for the first time from a post I made looking for someone to help me with an audition selftape. Right from the start she was warm and welcoming, it felt like we connected from our 1 hour commute to her studio. Once we arrived, we dived on in to setting up the studio and into the script analysis, drills for the warm-up using the Meisner technique. Irena is very knowledgeable of various techniques and strategies that gets you to think outside of comfort zone, (outside of the box) when it comes to making choices in a scene. Overall, I felt very comfortable with her immediately and was excited to find out she teaches on the side for great rates. The fact that she took time out of her busy day to assist me this evening tells me she will not only make a great instructor, she will also become a mentor to so many students." - Christina
Looking forward to this! I’ve worked with Irena in the past and she brought a wealth of experience to every workshops I’ve attended, while making sure to keep them as accessible as possible. A no brainer if you want to learn and explore!- Seb Drummond

Irena Huljak`s story-telling is evocative. A fine actress. -David Pollock (The Scotsman Newspaper)

“As a writer and director, I’ve worked with Irena on several occasions, and in each case, I’m always impressed, and even grateful, in her ability to see a piece of work from a birds eye view. That is a skill that lets her add something bigger than herself to any character and story.”

I had the pleasure of working with Irena Huljak on a short called "streaks in the mirror." She displayed not only organization in her characters thoughts patterns but something few do, strength- both physical and psychological. She delves deep into paradoxical characters and was able to play an unbearable but likeable twistedly maniacal human in a way only Irena could have.

Irena is a versatile actor who’s depth of emotion blew me away the first time I auditioned her. Her timing is impeccable and the breadth of experience and professionalism she brings to the table is every director’s dream. A young Meryl Streep who I can count on to make my films that much better.
