Actor Showreel Sessions | London

UK film production company welcomes you to a focused one-day film workshop where actors and film crew work on and behind the camera, gain set experience, and leave with usable showreel and portfolio material.

Across the day you’ll perform or crew in two short scenes, capture BTS photos and videos for your socials and connect with plenty of like-minded creatives as well.

Expect an open, collaborative environment with practical support throughout the day.

We’ll confirm the exact address and access details in your call sheet once you're signed up and we have a better idea of how many people are coming. Tell us your access needs early and we’ll do our best to accommodate you at the event.

Age & suitability

Organiser Update:

Two new and original scene scripts will soon be made available to the next workshop participants.

Please start learning the material you’d like to perform. Every actor can appear in both scenes and choose the character that suits them best; if time allows, you may try both roles. On the day there’ll be a short morning rehearsal, but please practise in advance.
