ACTOR REELS: TAKE A FASTER TRACK FOR BEING DISCOVERED
Having a DVD-reel shows professionalism and serious approach and make the work of casting directors easier. An active group of young talented actors have once approached me asking to shoot a few scenes that they felt represent them the best. The result was a success - it proved to be a good example for others to follow.
Making a reel is a collaborative process where every actor also becomes a co-producer. We usually group various scenes and shoot them in one or two days. They are then edited, we work on necessary sound design and produce a professional DVD containing the brand new reel.
Prices range from $800 to $1500. So even if you don't have a lot of experience in a short time you will be able to send casting agencies and production companies much more than just a headshot.
