"Thank you to everyone at Actor Screener Shoot for truly looking out for actors!"
|
"I recently came to Actor Screener Shoot after an extensive search for a production company that would produce high quality scenes for my reel.
"Immediately upon meeting I knew I had made the right choice. Not only was the team incredibly warm and professional during our meeting, but they listened carefully to what I was aiming for in my scenes and when the scripts came I was delighted to see just how much they were in tune with my particular ideas. "The shoots were very fun, comfortable and efficient and when I saw the footage I was honestly blown away by the quality and attention to detail they provided. I have already recommended them to all of my colleagues looking for high quality scenes to add to their demo reel and I will be coming back to Actor Screener Shoot in the future." 
|
"Starting out in this business, it is very unlikely you'll get the scene that hits your strong points. That's where Actor Screener Shoot boosts any reel. They give you a scene that looks like it is part of a larger production." |
"Actor Screener Shoot is like finding actor gold. I wrote to them and told them what I was looking for to add to my reel. They returned with a script that was exactly what I needed. We worked on making some adjustments and it turned out great. They gave us a script that my scene partner and I could really dig into and work on...
"They suggested a great location for the shoot. I was impressed how they shot many different angles and how attentive they were to getting the sound clean. In post-production, they were very receptive to making changes. The picture looks great and the sound is clear. I felt the team was very committed to giving me what I needed for my reel." 
|
|
"My experience with you all was fantastic and I'm more than happy with the quality of footage and the professionalism of the entire process, from beginning to end, I couldn't have asked for a smoother production. The entire crew delighted me and my co-stars beyond expectations and made us very much at home so we could get down to performing our work.
"Doing the Sizzle Reel package has most definitely been helpful for my career and I'm proud to have more content for my online presence as I seek work as well." 
|
"And for all actors seeking fresh material and eager to present more screen time, whether they are working or not, services such as this should be applauded as it is so important to keep relevant with the type of brand you wish to project. New material is a must as often as possible. And that is exactly why I decided to work with you all!"
|
"When dealing with Actor Screener Shoot, it becomes quite clear that you are dealing with professionals that care about the content they are creating, just as you do." |
"The whole City Headshots® and Actor Screener Shoot teams have been a tremendous help in my pursuit of a career in acting. They allowed me to have movie-quality scenes to show to agents and casting directors, resulting in auditions and jobs.
Throughout the entire process they were incredibly helpful and clear, guiding me through each step from our initial emails, through filming, to receiving my final, edited screener."

Hey I'm Martin, and I appreciate that you've taken the time to check out Actor Screener Shoot!
My job here is to help you figure out what scenes will work best for your brand, and then I'll be directing you and ensuring you look your best on-camera during the shoot. I've helped actors land on Broadway & get recurring television roles through my actor consulting work, I've interviewed well-known broadway actors, agents, and casting directors, and my headshot work has been featured on billboards in Times Square, in The New York Times, and in The Wall Street Journal. I graduated from NYU in 2011 with an honors degree in film production, and am currently in post-production on my second feature-length film called Dakota: Dedicated to My Best Friend. In 2009 I founded City Headshots, which, according to Yelp and Google, is ranked the #1 headshot studio in New York. At least a few times a month an actor I've worked with tells me their new reel footage helped them land a dream role or secured them an agent or manager. It's amazing to hear about everyone's success, and I hope it continues for each of our clients. |

Hey there! My name is Janelle and I've been interested in the art of make-up since I was 13 years old, practicing my technique on all the women in my family. I was always fascinated with not only the transformative nature of makeup but the confidence it brought to my family members. Later I learned how to accentuate beauty in a way that brings out the essence in my clients. I always aim to leave people feeling great about their appearance and ready to tackle whatever’s ahead of them.
I moved to New York to work in this field and I'm elated to have the opportunity to work with all different types of people with Actor Screener Shoot and City Headshots. No matter your background, ethnicity, or job description, rest assured that our team will work our hardest to make sure you’re picture perfect! |
