Demo Reels For Actors - clients

Jessica, among the all amazing things she does, she cuts demo reels for actors and she's fantastic at it. She's done great work for me on my reels over the years.

Demo Reels For Actors - clients

Jessica is my first choice when I need my reel updated. She created one from of all my new materials and when I needed to add more she was amazing in making a reel that made me and my reps very happy. She's an A list pro, reasonable rates and great turnaround.

DOING YOUR OWN ACTOR MARKETING
IS HARD

Approaching an actor reel can be exhausting.

How do you know what is supposed to go in it and what isn’t?

It is impossible to objectively view your own work
And even trying to can be a huge energy suck
You can go to friends and coaches for advice…
But what happens when everyone has a different opinion?

You need an impartial outside eye
who understands
actor marketing and how to make your work shine

Don’t trust your actor reel editing to just anyone…

WHY CHOOSE DEMO REELS FOR ACTORS?

Editing an actor reel that truly captures your essence and leaves a lasting impression on casting directors, agents, and producers is easier said than done. You need someone with…
  • An in-depth knowledge of the industry and their needs
  • An impartial eye to be able to discern which of your acting moments will serve you best
  • And the technical skills to cut your work into the most compelling clips possible

Actor and Editor in One:
Your Reel's Secret Weapon

Hi, my name is Jessica Alexandra Green. I am an award-winning Actor, Editor, Director, and Producer. I am also the Founder of Demo Reels For Actors.

I have been in this business for over 20 years, and have seen it from almost every angle.

As an actor I have experienced the joy of being cast in a role that I was perfect for. As a director I have felt the relief and delight in finding the perfect actor to fill a role. 

But I also know the frustrating truth about actor life, and how it feels to spend weeks sending out your materials looking for new reps, or to self-submit to dozens of roles …and never get a response. 

I know the frustration of being certain that I am the very best person to fill a particular role,
but not being able to capture the attention of the “gatekeepers”.

I know that feeling of apprehension while sending out marketing materials, of being worried that I might make a bad first impression, because
I wasn’t certain if my materials truly showcased my work in the best possible light.

See… 
I was an actor first. I didn’t know what those gatekeepers were looking for, and I certainly didn’t know how to show it to them.

But then I became a film editor...

I learned how to direct the viewer’s attention to see exactly what I wanted them to see. I learned when story is important, and when it isn’t. I learned to select the strongest parts a performance to elevate the final scene far beyond what existed in the raw footage. 

And I use those skills to construct phenomenal actor reels.

Stringing together clips of scenes as they were cut for the film or show, does an enormous disservice to the actor. The scene wasn’t cut to showcase the actor, it was cut to tell a story (or sometimes to showcase the star) 

But when those same scenes are recut to highlight only the strongest moments, and shine the spotlight on only the actor that is supposed to be showcased, the impact of those new clips and demo reels is undeniable.

Introducing our new
MARKETING MAKEOVER SERVICE

Because first impressions are everything!

“If I had only known what it took to be an actor-
I would have gotten a marketing degree instead.”

This is something I have been saying for the vast majority of my career.

20+ years ago I showed up in Hollywood, starry-eyed and full of hope.  I had made it!
For as long as I could remember I had one goal, to make it to Hollywood (and of course become a star!)
And now here I was, with a fresh theatre degree and full of drive and tenacity.

And I had planned for everything:
Go to school – ✓
Save up money and move to LA- 

Find a place I could afford to live- 

Find a survival job- 

Start auditioning- ???

Wait a minute… I had spent my whole life dreaming about how to get here, how had it literally never occurred to me to figure out how I was supposed to get to the next step?!
And how did I never learn that in the course of getting a 4 YEAR DEGREE??!

Well the sad truth is I didn’t have a clue how to get there.  So I learned, I had some wonderful mentors who took me under their wings and showed me the way.  The rest was a lot of trial and a whole lot of error.

In the process, I learned how to create all the materials needed to market myself as a business…
and then that became my job.
Not acting, not auditioning… marketing myself and perfecting my materials

It was overwhelming, time consuming, and, at times, soul-crushing. 

But unfortunately, until we hit a certain point on this career path it is just what we have to do.

The problem with this (in addition to everything that I just mentioned) is that when we do it on our own, we don’t know what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong.  It can be hit or miss, and when we don’t get the auditions opportunities we feel we deserve, we are never told
WHY NOT?

There is so much in this business that we have to do on our own… until we get our “people”

But figuring out if your marketing is on-point doesn’t have to be on that list.

Whether you haven’t been at this long, or have been pounding the pavement for decades…
Stop wondering whether you are showing yourself off in your best light

Beginning with your existing materials, we tweak and mold everything to be industry standard.
Saving you time, money, and frustration!

This is a quick and easy fix that gets your materials right where they need to be,
without having to learn new tech, or enroll in expensive and time-consuming mentorship programs 

Less frustration for yourself wondering if you did everything “right”
And less frustration on the part of industry professionals that are interested in you for a role, but will rule you out if you make them work to find the tools they need to evaluate and book you!

 

“Jessica is simply the BEST. She has edited my reels, short films, and now we are working together on a web series… I can’t say enough good things about Jessica. Hire her. You won’t be sorry and you’ll never go anywhere else.”

LAURA DOWLING SHEA

“Do you want an award-winning and prolific editor creating your reel? (Of course you do!) Hit up Jessica Green to make your work stand out!”

NEEM BASHA

“I had some really challenging footage – blurry, poorly framed, the colours were all way off – but it was edited together beautifully. I felt so grateful to have them come to the rescue and would recommend them at the drop of a hat”
