The Reel Solution

About Me


It always amazes me that actors will spend hundreds, sometimes even thousands of dollars on headshot sessions with the best photographers in town. They have the mindset that they absolutely won't settle for second best or cheap crap photos. And truthfully, they SHOULDN'T settle... EVER. Yet, when it comes to their demo reel they are willing to have their "friend" edit it together on his cheapo laptop with iMovie because they just don't want to pay for a REAL editor! That's insane! Your demo reel is just as important, if not way more important than your headshots. A headshot is just a picture. It doesn't tell anyone how great of an actor you are or how you look/sound on screen. Those pictures are touched-up, stylized, and over-processed. How many times have you been impressed by someone's headshot, only to meet them and they are TOTALLY different than their picture..... lookwise, soundwise, and talent-wise? Your demo reel is the only thing that is going to portray who you REALLY are! You are lucky if you get an agent, manager, or casting director to even look at your reel... let alone watch the whole thing! So why on Earth would you ever take the chance of them seeing something second best or imperfect?!
Not long ago, one of my clients got signed by William Morris, after the agent met with him and viewed his demo reel. He couldn't have been more thankful to me, and actually wanted to pay me MORE than I had asked for! I refused, but he left the money on my desk anyway. And that's not the first time that has happened. Several people have INSISTED on overpaying! That's just crazy!
I tell you this because.... listen.... anyone with a computer and 50 bucks worth of editing software can edit your reel. And if that's the kind of reel you feel confident in investing your hard-earned dollars to send out to people.... then more power to you. It's just your career we're talking about here. But if you want a reel that you can be confident in handing out every time.... EVERY time..... one that you can be proud of.... and that you know has been put together by a professional that cares about you.... then please call me!
I guarantee your satisfaction. I will work with you until you are happy. But if for any reason, you are not totally satisfied with your reel, then you don't have to pay! Period.
My rates are DEFINITELY affordable..... why.... because I already have a full-time job and don't need to rob you. But unfortunately.... you will still have to pay me.... sorry. :) But unlike all the one-stop reel shops around town, I will work with you until we get it right. And I don't charge flat fees. Every reel is different and requires customized work for that person. We will work out a price together, depending on what your needs/budget are. THAT is a service you won't get from other people! Trust me, I know you're broke. So I'll work with you the best I can. I promise you.
Now stop reading this and call me! The time to make the right investment for your career is RIGHT NOW!
Just FYI, I also do general editing. If you need your YouTube video, wedding video, or even old home movies edited.... come to me. I'll work you out a deal.
I can also transfer your old VHS tapes or mini-DV tapes to DVD. Why not get digital versions of all your memories before time eats them away. Call me for a price quote!
