This is a class to develop Demo Reel Marketing Materials for adult actors. Some Scene Study experience is required or must be intermediate level and up at Moonlight.

Every actor needs DEMO REEL to market their work professionally. It can be hard to get PROFESSIONAL looking demo reel at the quality that shows the actor in a PROFESSIONAL light. It's also is an opportunity to experience filming. We will help build your marketing materials through shooting quality demo reels that look like real films. We will shoot two person scenes at Moonlight to get each actor a dramatic and comedic piece that shows them well. If actors are interested in filmmaking they will learn all about that as well during the week. Actors will be involved in writing and creating some of the material. They will also shoot and crew both their pieces and others. Will be a great time. We will also do our best to work with adult schedules during the week.
