This special six week series presents a fantastic opportunity to rehearse, produce, shoot and deliver a high quality Screen Test reel for agents, casting directors and other industry professionals. A high quality screen test reel is the calling card for the modern actor.

This series is a great way to systemise the processes, work with like minds and the incredible Michael Booth. Don’t leave your next big opportunity to chance, put your best foot forward. 

Please understand this course is going to create a Screen Test reel, and NOT a Showreel. A Screen Test reel is a short demo of your work for an agency and although just a professional as a Showreel is used for a different purpose. A Showreel is technically a cut of recently produced work where as a Screen Test is a demo shoot of any chosen useful material, in a single angle format, shot generally with a blue background. Its an excellent format for a quick representation of what and how you might be able to act in a real scenario.
