SHOWREELS FOR ACTORSYour best acting - in your best scenes - on one showreel.
A multi-award-winning feature film director - with 20 years experience - workshops your scenes, directs your shoot, and edits the footage into a showreel built to get you noticed — no fancy effects, just a great performance worth watching.
What a casting director actually needs to see.
Most casting directors and agents make up their mind in seconds. What they're looking for isn't a showcase of editing tricks — it's you, believable, in a well-written scene. You need an experienced director to help you achieve that.
What we leave out
- Twirling transitions and effects that distract from the performance
- Rushed scenes learned the same day as the shoot
- Generic scripts that don't suit your casting type
- Hourly rates that punish you for wanting another take
What you get instead
- Scenes chosen and workshopped around your strengths
- Direction from a multi-award-winning feature film director
- As many takes as needed to get your best performance
- One flat price, agreed before you start
No effects, no filters — hover a frame to see it in colour.
From first call to finished showreel.
Every showreel follows the same six-part process — nothing rushed, nothing outsourced.
Consultation
A conversation with the director allowing him to find your strengths and choose scripts that suit your casting type.
Workshop
A two-hour scenes workshop once you've learned the material — so you arrive on set already directed.
Shoot day
Filmed over one day with plenty of takes, and direction throughout to get your best performance on camera.
Edit
Your showreel is edited over the following ten days — usually ready within a week.
Review
You see the finished cut and have a say in the running order of your scenes before it's locked.

Based locally, shot locally
In-person consultations, workshops and shoots — not a remote edit-only service.
One director, start to finish
The same multi-award-winning feature film director casts, directs and signs off every scene.
Workshopped in advance
Scenes are prepared days or weeks ahead of the shoot, so you're never learning lines the same day.
