Why Do I Need a Reel?
I understand you're wondering about the importance of having a reel.
The entertainment industry has evolved significantly, and our approach to presenting clients to casting directors now involves a comprehensive pitch package. This typically includes your headshot, resume, reels, and a brief note highlighting why you're a strong match for a specific project. Reels are particularly vital as they showcase your versatility as an actor and provide casting directors with a clear demonstration of your capabilities.
To effectively demonstrate your range and complete your professional profile, we recommend having four key types of reels:
Procedural: Showcasing your ability in roles within law enforcement, medical, or similar settings
Light-hearted: Highlighting your comedic timing and ability in lighter roles
Drama: Demonstrating your skill in intense and serious performances
Character: Displaying your talent for embodying unique and distinctive personalities
Our Reel Service is designed to help you create compelling footage. We carefully select scenes that align with current industry trends and your specific talents and type. We also partner you with other actors who complement your performance on camera. Additionally, we provide a director and a full crew with all the necessary equipment, including lighting and sound, as well as professional editing services.
