Demo scene creations with a real-movie look
Reel Scenes
We make it look real
By using camera movement, multiple angles, cutaways, and original sound scoring, we give energy and believability to your demo scene.
We come to you
We can shoot in your home, cottage, place of work, car…anywhere you have access and can match a scene to. Perform with confidence in the privacy of a setting of your choosing.
We make it affordable
We’re a crew of one! For less than the cost of a headshot, you’ll have convincing demo footage to accompany your next taped audition.
The Process
Performances need to be believable. And so does your demo scene. We begin by assisting your script creation with AI, matching your scene dialogue to your location. Then we pair you with a scene partner to perform with. When you arrive on set with your own wardrobe and make-up, we’ll run lines, rehearse blocking, then get to work on our first master-wide shot. Your close-up will be next!
The Advantage
Writing your own scene allows you to tailor your performance to your strengths, and showcase your uniqueness as an actor. Show casting directors and decision makers your strongest work by writing it for yourself. You know what you’re good at, and we know how to capture it.
The First Step
It all begins with an email. We’ll help brainstorm script ideas, locations, and scene partners in a collaborative effort via Zoom. Don’t let another audition come and go without having compelling and believable demo footage to give you the edge in booking your next part. Reach out and tell us about yourself.

DEMO SCENE RATES
Scene Partner
We discount our rate by $50.00 if you and another actor you know would like to do a scene together. Not only will you save money, but you’ll be comfortable with one another on set, and can streamline the scene writing process as a collaborative effort.
$350.00
no scene partner
If you don’t have a scene partner, we will match you with one depending on the type of scene you’d like to film. Since every script is original, the only thing stopping two actors working together is our imagination. Each scene can be tweaked or altered in limitless ways.
$400.00
Solo
We can also create scenes that are all about you! Maybe you’d like to film a monologue you’ve written, or have thought of a creative way to incorporate only off-camera voices. This is a way to steal the show when you send your demo reel in with your next audition.
