Recently, I had the great pleasure of working with Tim Sabatino on a shoot for the upcoming feature film, "Hometown Hollywood." Tim was a consummate professional throughout the process, being always prepared, efficient, focused, and sure of the vision he wanted to create. Tim is highly personable and made the process fun, immediately making everyone on set relaxed and ready to give our best. Because of his great personality and work ethic, Tim won the respect of all cast and crew, and that is of paramount importance when trying to complete any project, successfully. I look forward to working with Tim in the future, and know that all who are fortunate to share that opportunity will have an amazing time while seeing all of their film goals come to fruition.

Tim is a fantastic director. He runs great control on set with grips and assistants and the producers. The thing I love about his directing is he really rolls with the flow in terms of the actors and favors the natural circumstances and “mistakes” that happen during each take. And that makes it so enjoyable and fun for everyone on set while achieving the goal of the shot. Multiple people commented on how natural and confident he was while in his element behind the
camera. Excited to create more with Tim! - Palmer Dernehl
Production: Hometown Hollywood
I had a wonderful experience working with Tim. As our fearless leader, he kept a calm yet positive and fun presence on set. He kept everyone smiling - allowing us to relax and create to the best of our abilities. Although this was my first time working with him, I instantly trusted him
and had full confidence in his work. He's an industry professional who I can't wait to work with again! - Rachel Gallagher
Testimonials from The Horse Camp for Actors at Infiniti Ranch
“I had too many ah-ha moments to count. It was so exciting to have those on the horse! I am starting to understand the body language of the horses and how the horses are trying to communicate with me. The acting side was very well structured and I learned so many new and effective tools. I feel more prepared for the jobs I hope to get. I feel more confident in my horsemanship. Tim and April and their team are some of the finest people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Their patience has no bounds. This weekend has grounded me in ways I didn’t even know I needed, not only on my professional career as an actress but in my future endeavors in life. I would recommend this camp a thousand times and can’t wait to come back and show Tim and April how much I have grown. Thank you! From the bottom of my heart!” -Tawna Kelley -actress
"This was the most incredible experience! I highly recommend this to new riders as well as experienced ones. You will leave this camp with some fantastic footage, new friends, and have some of the most fantastic cooking you've had in your life! This camp is a must do for anyone who's looking to learn how to ride or needs some footage for their reels! Love you Tim & April! XOXO" -Danielle Vasinova - actor
"My experience at Infiniti ranch is one that I will always cherish. Horse ranch on the outside, production studio on the inside, Infiniti ranch is an amazing space to learn and create. April made it so easy for an inexperienced rider like myself to be comfortable on and around the horses. It is rare that you get to build a personal relationship with someone who’s successfully been in the industry as long as Tim; furthermore, I am most grateful for the conversations we would have as he is a human well of knowledge for a young actor like myself. He gave me useful insight on the business but also on how to structure my life in general to achieve utmost success. I was able to see the creation process from scratch on the 2 scenes that we shot on horseback, which gave me a great sense of understanding and comfort as an actor. Tim is a professional when it comes to directing and photography T.he headshots and fashion shoot we did at the ranch were some of the smoothest shoots I’ve ever been apart of. And did I mention the man can cook!? Infiniti ranch is a godsend for actors aiming to book roles featuring horseback, and I am very blessed to have attended!" -Addison Dattilo - actor
"The experience at Infiniti Ranch's horse camp for actors was nothing less than extraordinary. Tim and April work as a flawless team to navigate the fusion of film making and horseback riding. With daily lessons, planning for scenes and rehearsals, we were more than prepared to execute our scenes by the last day of the camp, the shoot day. I would not hesitate to come back to this horse camp for actors". -Lena Grossi
"What can I say… these last few days in Atlanta were an absolute Dream. The Horse Camp for Actors on the beautiful Infiniti Ranch in Atlanta was an absolute Dream. I am an avid Rider who is looking to incorporate that skill into my acting. I have been asked by Casting Directors to send footage of me riding and all I had was some video my Trainer shot on an iphone during a lesson. Now, I will have full scenes specifically made for me, in wardrobe (had a scene as a Ranchwoman/Cowgirl and a scene set in 1800 in England), riding all gaits (walking, trotting/posting trot and cantering) in a stunning scenery in the Country and on a Ranch. Now I can send that footage in and I am certain this will help me book a whole lot more work for TV Shows, Movies, Commercials etc. The scenes were written specifically for me, then we prepared and rehearsed them on Horseback on the Ranch to eventually shoot under the direction of Tim Sabatino. To prepare adequately, I also received Horse Riding lessons by the amazing Trainer April Sabatino, which helped get me comfortable and ready on their wonderful and calm Horses to shoot the scenes with. But not only do you get amazing footage of you riding, it's the whole experience. You wake up to Birds chirping and a rooster - and nothing else. You are immediately welcomed with open Arms by Tim and April who open their Home to the Actors, you get to stay there, have Horse and Riding related movie nights, get spoiled with 3 delicious home cooked meals per day, get to help out on the farm by cleaning and tacking the horses, get to do some farm work and learn the ins and outs of owning a Horse, Riding and the Farm Life! I can't wait to see my footage from the scenes and am excited to see where this will take my career! I can highly recommend this Horse Camp for Actors, it is well worth your money and an experience of a lifetime!" - Debby Gerber - actress
"I never heard of such a camp until now. I have always wanted to learn to ride horses. Not only was this a boot camp with horses but I was able to create and use my imagination. When I arrived, I had an audition due. I was so happy to make the deadline due to Tim taping me and coaching me in his studio as soon as I arrived. He was a fantastic coach! April the horse trainer was so patient as I only had 2 trail rides in my life. A bonus was getting new head shots all while learning a new skill. I never expected to be able to work on a film clip that a writer wrote for me and with Tim's direction made it come to life. Overall I would highly recommend this Horse Camp for Actors to anyone who is wanting an experience". - Anna Talakkottur - actress (Jurassic World)
