Question 1

Where are you based/ Can you travel to me?

Accepted Answer

We are based in the North-West and generally film between Manchester and Liverpool but we can travel to you too.
This may incur a travel fee dependent on the distance to travel, please contact us to discuss.

Question 2

How long does it take to film a scene?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the scene we're filming. A monologue will generally be around 2 hours whilst a duologue or trio will be approximately 4 hours.
These times can change dependent on your scene, rehearsal time and if we want to get another take. We operate a 'no rush service' so when you film with us, we work with you until we have what you need for your showreel.

Question 3

How many scenes can we film in one day?

Accepted Answer

We can film upto two scenes in one day.

Question 4

Do you provide locations? Where can we film?

Accepted Answer

We regularly location scout for potential locations to film so we know of some great places for your showreel but if you're looking for something specific, just let us know!
Locations must be free to access but if you want to source and pay for a location for yourself we will happily film your scene there.
It's best to chat to us about this at your initial consultation so we can work together to get what's best for your showreel.

Question 5

Can you provide actors to work with?

Accepted Answer

No, sorry. We find it's best to work with someone you know and are comfortable working with. It also means you can split the cost of your scene with your partner and both get a great new cinematic scene for your showreel.

Question 6

Do you provide props/ costumes?

Accepted Answer

No, sorry. All props and costumes must be provided by you.

Question 7

Can I provide my own script?

Accepted Answer

Yes!
Writing services are complimentary for all showreel packages but if you have a script you would really like to bring to life we can shoot this for you too.
Scripts should be provided to us no later than 7 days before your filming date and must be copyright free. Scripts should be around 1.5-2 pages and formatted to industry standard.
We do however reserve the right to refuse a script which we consider to be offensive, unprofessional or inappropriate.
