best ways to get material for your demo are to do student and indie films as well as getting the experience and resume credit. However, sometimes getting your materials
back from these projects is almost impossible and often when you do get it back the quality is so bad you can’t use it. So what do you do? In our new 5 week class, you’ll
have the opportunity to work ON SET and acquire usable footage to help develop and SHOWCASE your on-camera demo reel. Film casting director Eve Battaglia will work
with you on two contrasting short film/tv scenes that will be shot on location with filmmaker and editor Michael Stever. In the first class, you’ll meet with Eve and Michael
where you will be cast into two scenes. Scenes and partners will be determined according to each actors needs. In your next two classes you’ll work to perfect both scenes
ON CAMERA with Eve. Your final two classes will be spent shooting on location with Michael. Within one month after completing this class, Michael will send you your fully
edited material in order to post on your website or add to your current demo reel. This class is also PERFECT for those actors who have already been compiling material for
a film/TV demo, but are missing certain types of roles. Actors may also bring in scene ideas for this class. Limited to 10 actors.
