About us

That Studio was born from the shared passion of two film lovers. Through collaboration and various projects, Baraa and Ophelie have developed common working methods that they now apply to contribute to some of Saudi Arabia's finest productions.

After graduating from Cours Florent and the conservatory of dramatic arts in Paris, Ophélie first began working as an actress, director, and performer. At the same time, she pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Literature (specialising in film and performing arts) at Sorbonne Nouvelle. She now works on many projects in the kingdom as a cast director and acting coach.

Ophélie Legris

Actor, writer and director, Baraa is known for his lead roles in the Godus Brothers’s “Shams Alm’aarif”, “Route 10” and “HWJN”. He is also the co-founder of the independent cine-club “Cinema Mirkaz”, the creator and host of “Filmmer“ a film-content youtube channel with more than 500k subscribers in which he writes and presents film reviews and discussions.

Casting

Specializing in lead and supporting roles in film and television in Saudi Arabia, That Studio offers you the best casting experience possible: from the pre-selection of actors, organizing in-person auditions, to on-set scene work during the casting process.

With fifteen years of experience in France, Ophélie will be able to find actors who meet the requirements of your projects, whether they are national or international.

That Studio establishes a trusted dialogue with the director/ film production house and remains engaged until the cast is locked.

Coaching

To best prepare your actors, you can rely on That Studio.

Our coaching service can be here during pre-production, rehearsals, or even directly on set. Through very specific methods, we train your actors so they can give their best when the camera is rolling and you will save valuable time on set.

Workshops

Since the beginning of her career, Ophélie has always enjoyed teaching. It was only natural for her to start leading workshops for both professionals and amateurs throughout the kingdom.

The themes of these workshops are diverse and can range from improvisation to scene work, all the way to tools that enable speaking fluently and spontaneously in front of an audience.

That Studio will be able to tailor workshops to your needs.
