Please bring at least three outfit options. If you're an actor, choose pieces that reflect the roles you pursue—solids typically work best.

I recommend avoiding solid black, white, and bright red, particularly for actors.

Yes, we have solo packages for demo reel scene shoots available. Soon, we’ll launch an onsite database to help you find scene partners.
