Showreels

Professional, Bespoke Showreel Services

When assessing an actor's suitability for their project, a Casting Director's first port of call is the actor's showreel. We at Rotten Park Road, having cast, written, directed and produced Internationally distributed feature films, know how vital a decent showreel is - it is always the first thing we look at.

We are fully aware that the most important thing about a showreel is showing you can act! If a casting director doesn't believe the performance, then you're not going to get the audition, no matter how beautifully shot or edited your showreel is.

As industry professionals, we can help you to achieve a convincing, engaging performance that lets your audience know that you are a professional and that if they employ you, they are in safe hands, as well as producing a great image and high quality sound.

Our team comprises of acting agents, casting professionals, an award-winning writer, an Internationally recognised director and professional experience on both sides of the camera.


The Process:

After liaising together to discuss your needs, we will:

⌲ After liaising together to discuss your needs, we will create a scene(s) that suit you and play to your strengths. As an award-winning writer, Writer/Director Patrick will write a unique scene specifically for you that will be perfect for your casting suitability. Great acting starts with a great script. If you have a pre-written scene of your own that you wish to perform, that is of course also fine.

⌲ Rehearse and film your scene(s), producing them in the same way we produce our own professional film productions that is made for major International platforms, to ensure you give your best performance.

⌲ Edit your scene(s) together to create a high quality showreel.

Fees:

⌲ Edit-only: £50

If you have existing footage you are happy with and simply need your footage editing together to create a nice reel.

⌲ 1 Filmed Scene + Editing: £425

⌲ 2 Filmed Scenes + Editing: £650

⌲ 3 Filmed Scenes + Editing: £875

We are happy to discuss payment options, including a pay in 3 instalments option, depending on your needs.

A scene can either be written just for yourself as a monologue or as a duologue, which can often mean you can split the cost of a filmed scene with a peer. We can give you a hand if you're stuck for an actor to play against, but are more than happy for you to arrange this if you prefer.

1 scene takes on average 2-3 hours to shoot. 3 scenes can normally be shot in 1 day, sometimes 2 depending on the scene. Once your footage is in the can, we then edit your footage together and send a first draft for you to give feedback on. We then redraft according to you/ your agent's needs.

Location:

We are based in Leek, in the Staffordshire Moorlands. We do prefer to shoot locally, however we are happy to discuss travelling to you or, if you're a non-driver, we can arrange to pick you up and drop you off at the nearest train stations which are Macclesfield or Stoke-on-Trent.
