Demo Reels • Headshots

About the Editor ...

Reelactor.com owner Fred Zara is an award-winning filmmaker, phogographer and editor who has been in the entertainment industry for most of his life. One thing Fred has learned along the way is that the most successful entertainers are the ones who know how to effectively promote themselves. This is just as true for seasoned professionals as it is for beginners.



As a performer, you are a brand. To be a successful brand, you need the tools that best show off your commercial potential, and in the age of the Internet, head shots alone are not enough. Today's producers and casting directors want to see what you can do on screen, and a professionally edited demo reel is an indispensable tool for presenting yourself as a marketable screen performer. Demo reels exist for one reason: to showcase you and your versatility as an actor. When creating your reel, Fred Zara will use his keen narrative instinct and years as a professional editor to transform your clips into the best possible vehicle for your talent.
