We’re proud to share the incredible success story of Atticus Cohen-Yelle, a recent graduate of the New Image College Film Acting Conservatory whose hard work, dedication, and generosity of spirit have opened the door to a major breakthrough.

During his time at NIC, Atticus was more than just a committed student—he was a quiet leader. Always the first to volunteer for extra projects, offer support to his peers, and challenge himself creatively, Atticus stood out not only for his talent but for his discipline and work ethic. Whether it was staying late to rehearse, stepping up on set to help fellow students, or pushing himself further in every class, he demonstrated the kind of drive that sets a true actor apart.

It was at NIC that Atticus met his agent during one of the college’s industry showcases-an opportunity he earned through preparation and consistency. Their connection quickly grew into a professional relationship, and in the months following graduation, Atticus threw himself into the business, honing his materials, attending auditions, and continuing to train.
Now, after a nationwide casting search, Atticus has been cast in a major role in an undisclosed feature film shooting in Toronto, Ontario. The opportunity will see him fly out to Toronto for a life-changing part—a testament to what persistence, preparation, and a positive attitude can achieve.
Atticus Cohen-Yelle represents what NIC is all about: rising talent fuelled by humility, courage, and hard work. We can’t wait to see where this journey takes him next—and we’re certain this is just the beginning✨
