If you're a film and TV actor, you need a demo. If you don't have one, we will make one for you. From SCRATCH. Specifically designed for you. We have a career consulting session on zoom. We write scenes for you. We organize your shoot day. We provide virtually everything. We coach you through the whole thing. You do as many takes as you want. In about a week, you get your demo. A few weeks later, your life changes.
Our founder, Peter Skagen, is a working actor with over 50 credits (Reacher, Supernatural, Fargo). He has coached across North America for 25 years. He's the author of the award-winning book Screen Acting Trade Secrets. And he has an MA in screenwriting. Peter directs every actor in every scene. Result? A tailor-made promotional tool that rockets your career into orbit.
We have made demos for hundreds of actors across North America. Actors have flown in from as far away as London to get theirs made. Aadila Dosani from Vancouver is now a star, playing Amanda, one of the Bobbsey Twins.
This is not an impersonal production line! We take time to talk to you, to understand your career, and to create a unique demo that works for YOU.
You pay for THREE scenes. But we shoot FOUR in case we don't like one of them. If we like all four, you get all four.
You're working your butt off to make it. We help you with a demo you can afford. How much? Our FULL PRODUCTION service is much less than you might think. Contact us for more info and a free consultation.
Vivienne got her demo done when she was 9. She's now 11. And a regular on Joe Pickett.
Best camera, lighting, sound and sets with a
crew.
It's your first day on set, and we coach you the whole way.
Stephanie wanted something tense, like The Last Of Us. Here's what we did.
Anzel needed something to sell him as a young host, actor and influencer.
Amanda needed something droll and quirky.
Grant needed some comedy that worked with his tough guy brand. All scenes are custom made.
Bonnie is coming back into the Biz after a long hiatus. This demo got her a top agent, and her first booking.
Janine is a German actor now making waves in Canada. She needed a demo in English. She just booked a large role on Fargo.
Peter, I can't believe it. So many of my friends in Toronto have been trying to get an agent for years. Your demo got me one in a week!!! I'm so excited.
Man I gotta tell ya your demos are better than anything I've seen in LA. Mine got me a commercial agent and a theatrical agent in a super short time by LA standards.
Peter, it was just like you said! I flew back to London and booked a show on UK Channel 4 exactly five days later. Amazing.
It's a ton of fun.

Our demos are for new actors, experienced actors who need new promo tools, and other performers crossing over into film and TV. If you're trying to break in, you MUST have one. Agents, producers and casting directors need to see what you look like and sound like, whether you can act, where they should cast you, what you would look like on their show, and that you are serious. The demo accomplishes all those things. It separates you from the crowd, makes you visible, employable, and dangerous!
Drop us an email. Peter will set up a zoom call to talk about you and your career. This is the crucial step. Peter uses his 35 years in the Biz to help you understand your brand, and design a demo that will help you get that agent, that part, and that career. Every demo is custom made specifically for you. Once you give the word, he'll write FOUR scenes for you, including a small character you might book right away, and one or two larger characters showing your range and trajectory, and one where we swing for the fences. The goal is to show you off as well as possible. You get as many rewrites as you want, and can have as much input as you want. Once you're happy, Peter will do an advance rehearsal with you over zoom (or in person) so your performance, accent, and impact are perfect. Then, Peter sets up your shoot day. You can bring other actors you want to work with, or Peter will supply them. On the day, you will shoot all your scenes in the order you want, and do as many takes as you want. Peter will coach you every step of the way. In about a week, you'll have your finished demo. We normally upload them to Vimeo so you can send out the link. And, of course, you will download and save it to your computer. The whole process takes about 10 days depending on your schedule.
Save it to your computer, send the link to your agent so he or she can use it to promote you, put it up on your own website, and on Casting Workbook, Actors Access, Spotlight, IMDB, and other industry sites, drop it everywhere on social media, and send the link to casting directors, and employers.
Just email us below. Give us some good times to zoom, and we'll set it up asap. There's no obligation. If you want to go ahead, Peter will write scenes for you, and you'll be charged a small deposit to hold your spot. The remainder is due on the day of your shoot. GST is added. Be prepared for things to happen fast and efficiently. Your career is worth it.
