WHO IT'S FOR
Actors starting out: a first scene or a first full reel that gets your foot in the door.
Working actors: fresh footage that matches the roles you’re now being seen for.
Actors on the cusp of regular TV work: screen-ready scenes to sit alongside, or replace, your existing material.
WHY WORK WITH ME?
I’ve been a professional actor for over 10 years, and I’m still in training. That shapes how I work. I know what a casting director is looking for in a scene, and I know how it feels to be in front of the camera. I direct on the day with that in mind, so we work towards getting the performance you want and need; not just a good-looking frame.
Every scene is written around your casting type, or you can bring your own script. Deciding on a casting type can be difficult, so get in touch to discuss some options on how we can work on getting the best out of your craft while playing to your strengths.
HOW IT WORKS
Consultation: we talk through your casting type, the roles you’re aiming for, and the scenes you want to make.
Script and planning: I write your scene(s), usually within a few days. You can also supply your own.
Shoot day: filmed in the studio or at a local location, with direction throughout.
Edit and delivery: finished scenes and your full showreel delivered in 3-10 working days, depending on how many scenes you filmed.
Studio and kit
Shot on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K with professional lighting, a Rode NTG3 shotgun mic, DJI Mic 3 wireless units and a Zoom F6 field recorder. Edited and graded in DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Signature is the most popular choice for actors who need contrast. Premium gives the most range and best value per scene.
All scenes are filmed on the same day. Locations within 5 miles of the studio are included. Beyond that, I’ll quote a small travel fee before you book. There are no hidden fees: the price you see is the price you pay.
Most locations are free, however there may be times when there will be a small fee for room/location hire, actor travel fees, etc.
