Faith Shackleford is a 20-year-old Actor and Director who grew up in the south of England where she is currently based. After being introduced to the world of acting at a very young age through musical theatre, she's now spent more than half her life performing on stage. Wishing to hone her craft, she is currently studying at the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham, where she is set to graduate in 2022.
During her training she's studied the methods of Stanislavski, Meisner, and Uta Hagen, and has had the wonderful opportunity to work and learn under directors Hannah Joss, and Claire Beresford. She has also found a love for screen performance, having worked under directors Steve North, Pia Rickman, and Johnathan Martin (as an assistant director).
She is currently on her final year of university, where she has written and directed a short play called 'What Better Time for a Slushy than Bowling with Friends?' Post-graduation, she plans to find an agent and begin working in the industry, specialising in screen work both in front and behind the camera. She also wishes to develop her short play in to a full one-act-play in the future.
