FILMDOCK PRODUCTIONS
Professional showreels for actors in London
ABOUT US
We are a team of film-makers with 10 years of industry experience. Individually we have worked on everything from feature films and TV shows to documentaries and music videos before we formed a showreel company to provide high-quality, cinematic showreels for actors in London that look (and sound!!) as good as anything in your local multiplex.
We create showreels from scratch, meaning we write, shoot and edit bespoke scenes for you to showcase your strengths, or explore a different side to your acting talent.
The secret ingredient of our high-quality service lies beyond the years of experience we have, or the industry standard equipment we use. Our secret is passion. We are truly passionate about film-making and creating showreels for actors. We never mind doing an extra shot to add more production value, spending the extra hours on post production to create a professional sound design or finding the right music for the scene, having an ADR session whenever necessary, or professionally colour grade the scene to get the cinematic look. We work very hard to make sure that all our clients get great value and nothing less, than perfect is good enough for us.
We are proud that our former clients have since gone on to appear in shows such as The Crown, Eastenders, Born to Kill, Hollyoaks, Peaky Blinders, Casualty, and Doctors.
SHOWREEL EXAMPLES
SHOWREEL CREW

PETE
Director / DP / Editor
Since producing his first award-winning short film at the age of 14, Pete has filmed and edited shorts, features, TV shows and more than a thousand showreel scenes. His never-ending passion for film-making led him to founding Filmdock Productions in 2013, to provide the highest quality showreels for actors.

ESTEBAN
Sound recordist
After graduating in 2006, Esteban worked in a wide range of film and video projects across different sectors, including showreels for actors, short films, promotional, corporate, TV and Creative film-making.

EDI
Production Manager
Working with Pete since the beginning, Edi has assisted on several projects, and always kept the cast and crew in high spirits. She is now working in the background as a Production Manager. She manages all the bookings, organises shootings, helps sourcing locations and scene partners.

MATT
Writer
Since graduating with a BA in Film and an MA in Literature, Matt has worked with Peter to write hundreds of showreel scripts for upcoming talents. As well as working on numerous short film projects in different capacities and the occasional feature.
HOW WE WORK
As a first step, you will have a free, no-strings-attached consultation with our managing director, Pete, who will be your director and DP for the shooting. He will answer all your questions and discuss your needs, production dates, locations, supporting actors and the entire procedure more in detail. To move further and secure your production date, you will need to complete your booking by paying the deposit.
Once the deposit is cleared, you will be contacted by our scriptwriter, Matt. He will discuss your casting range, characters, and scenes you would like to play. Matt will then send a brief for you to confirm and will write and deliver the scripts accordingly.
After that you will have further consultations with Pete via e-mail to discuss schedule, wardrobe, props and production design and to finalise every detail.
On the production day, depending on your package, it can take 2 – 6 hours to film a showreel scene, including set up and rehearsals. Ideally, it is more than enough time to film an acting showreel scene properly, so it might not actually going to take that long however, we like to allocate some extra time to make sure the scenes are properly lit and to avoid rushing ourselves. That creates a more relaxed, calm state of mind for all cast and crew that will eventually lead you getting a better showreel.
After filming, you will receive all your fully edited scenes ready to upload to Spotlight and all other casting directories within 10 working days.
