LOS ANGELES, CA, October 01, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In an industry dominated by legacy names, famous families, and  coastal power centers, The CoLAB Method is rewriting the script. Founded  by Thomas and Daniella Adisi, two outsiders who clawed their way into  the acting world from unlikely beginnings, CoLAB officially launches  online in 2025—bringing its underdog-tested, actor-approved training  system to students everywhere.

FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
Neither Thomas nor Daniella came from Hollywood stock. Thomas started as  a photojournalist, Daniella as a social worker. With no connections, no  shortcuts, and plenty of failures, they learned the hard way what so  many dreamers face: the system wasn't built for people like them.

But instead of giving up, they turned their setbacks into fuel. Thomas  went on to train under Broadway legend and prolific film/TV actor  Raphael Sbarge (Once Upon a Time, Risky Business, Murder in the First)  in Los Angeles through his selective Hudson Theater apprentice group.  Daniella carved her path through relentless work, study, and coaching.  Together, they became living proof that resilience can rewrite destiny.

BORN IN MILWAUKEE, BUILT FOR THE WORLD
The CoLAB story didn't begin in L.A. or New York—it began in Milwaukee.  Between 2016–2018, Thomas ran acting classes alongside three seasons  with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, later adding workshops with local  arts high schools and extended teaching sessions for corporate  professionals.

By 2018, he and Daniella launched CoLAB Studio on Milwaukee's Upper East  Side. Their classes drew theater students and working adults alike, all  hungry for something missing in traditional training: a roadmap for  screen acting that was practical, holistic, and accessible.

That spark became a mission. And after years of refining their system,  the Adisis are now unveiling CoLAB's online transformation model to the  world.

THE 3MS: A SURVIVAL MAP FOR DREAMERS
At the center of CoLAB is the proprietary "3Ms" framework:

Mindset: cultivating unshakable confidence and resilience in the face of rejection

Mastery: sharpening on-camera technique for auditions, scenes, and storytelling

Marketplace: navigating branding, self-tapes, and the business of breaking in

Together, these three pillars form what the Adisis call a "time and  opportunity multiplier." Instead of stumbling through years of  confusion, students move with clarity, confidence, and speed.

A CHANGED INDUSTRY, A NEW OPENING
After Covid, the entertainment industry transformed. Auditions went  digital. Self-tapes became standard. Suddenly, actors no longer needed  to uproot their lives for the coasts.

That's where CoLAB shines. Most of its students aren't from New York or  Los Angeles—they're from small towns in the Midwest and beyond. They're  living proof that with the right system, anyone can find their way into  the industry spotlight.

"Hollywood doesn't just live on the coasts anymore," says Daniella. "It  lives wherever you have a camera, a story, and the courage to show up."

MORE THAN ACTING—A CALL TO CREATIVE FREEDOM
While designed for actors, CoLAB's impact stretches wider. The Adisis'  freeing, relational, and exacting style resonates with all creatives,  entrepreneurs, and professionals seeking bolder self-expression.

It's why they're already developing their first book, blending their  personal story of trial and resilience with the CoLAB framework,  offering a roadmap from being "locked up" to living in creative freedom.

HUMOR IN THE HUSTLE
Even in their grit-driven journey, the Adisis know the power of humor.  One of Thomas's stock photos went viral years ago as the meme "How I  Sleep at Night." Today, they embrace it as part of their brand—a wink at  authenticity and the unpredictable nature of creative life.

PROGRAMS & COMMUNITY
CoLAB's flagship program, 10XACTIVATE, distills their system into 50  video lessons with live coaching and community masterminds. Students  gain lifetime community access and a year of guided content—delivering  clarity and results in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional  training.

In every way, CoLAB is built for the overlooked, the underestimated, and the underdog—because that's exactly who built it.

ABOUT THE COLAB METHOD
Founded in 2018 in Milwaukee, WI, The CoLAB Method (CoLAB Studio) is an  online acting and creative training platform built on the belief that  persistence beats privilege. CoLAB's founders, Thomas and Daniella  Adisi, rose from unlikely beginnings to create a proprietary **3Ms  framework—Mindset, Mastery, Marketplace—that transforms both screen  actors and creative professionals.

After years of in-person workshops tied to the Milwaukee Repertory  Theater, CoLAB evolved into a full system tested by students from  college actors to corporate professionals. Today, CoLAB empowers  small-town dreamers across the U.S. and abroad to launch screen careers  and unlock personal creative freedom.

With its flagship 10XACTIVATE course, live coaching, and private  community, CoLAB is more than training—it's a movement for the  overlooked to rise.
