Testimonials
“I got an agent!”
These guys are the reel deal! (Sorry, I had to.) Everyone at CYR was super professional, great to work with, and seriously fantastic at what they do. Can’t recommend them enough. Oh, and I got an agent! Thanks, guys! Keep up the amazing work!
These guys are awesome!
These guys are awesome! They are so efficient and so much fun to work with. I got the finished product back 5 business days later (as promised), and I am so happy with the reel. I highly recommend them to any actor wanting to film some reel material.
Can’t wait to start using my new reel
Definitely a place I would come back to again for demo reels in the future. The whole process was neat, clean, professional, and went by very fast. The scripts they write have everything you need for the character in a concise few lines, the directors give great feedback while you’re doing the takes, and everyone there is so personable and friendly when you meet them. All of them definitely know their craft–I did a daunting 4 scenes which I thought would be an arduous task, but they knew exactly what to do, how to do it, and it made me feel comfortable and at home. The time flew by. They also get a lot of your input on the final product, which is fantastic. You really feel in control of your marketing tool. I can’t wait to start using my new reel and getting results!
Flew from Atlanta and it was well worth it
Absolutely the best. I flew in from Atlanta just to shoot with these guys and I it was well worth it. Professional and so helpful in getting me to put in my best performance. Never rushing and willing to shoot until we got it right. I quickly got a an agent after I was able to add reel to my submissions. Auditions are stating to come in. I can’t say thank you enough. If you can, shoot with these guys.
Absolutely BRILLIANT footage
I just shot with Kevin and Co. last weekend, and in less than 7 days I have a.) absolutely BRILLIANT footage and b.) every imaginable file type an actor would need [Actor's Access, LA Casting, Youtube, DVD, etc.]! These folks really are the best in the business and I’ll be going back again for sure.
Fabulous experience from beginning to finish
I would like to take a moment and say thank you to CreateYourReel. We had a fabulous experience from beginning to finish. They have gone above and beyond to meet our needs and assure that we were happy with the reel. We would not recommend anyone else. We are very pleased with the outcome!
The whole process was easy and professional.
I have a great reel now, thanks to Kevin and everyone else at Create Your Reel! It was a really fun day of shooting, and the whole process was easy and professional. I couldn’t be happier!
Final product far exceeded high expectations
Recently used Create Your Reel for my daughter’s reel. The whole experience was great from initial phone call all the way through the final edit. I had high expectations, but the final product by far exceeded them. Everyone was so competent and professional that my daughter was able to relax, enjoy the whole experience, and give some great performances that are captured on a terrific reel.

I was just offered a movie role
I used Create Your Reel for both my daughter’s reel and just recently mine. Since getting her reel, my daughter has booked a series on ABC among other work. I was just offered a movie role and the director told me that my reel was one of the best he has ever seen. The quality of their lighting and set design is AMAZING!!!
My audition calls have increased
If you are serious about adding new or updated clips to your demo reel, I strongly encourage you to work with the folks at CYR. It is no coincidence that my audition calls have increased since my updated demo went online. Thanks CYR team!

True pros; I am 100% happy!
I had my reel done by Create Your Reel on June 18th, 2011. Not only was I impressed by the way Kevin King handled my appointment, but also by the fantastic direction given by Director Steve Hosford. These two guys are true pros and they will help you get the best reels possible! From the very first phone call consultation, to the actual day of the shoot, Create Your Reel NEVER let me down! I am 100% happy!
Professional and creative
I just recently filmed a reel with Create Your Reel and I could not be happier with the outcome. They are professional, creative, and very easy/fun to work with. I am very happy with the product I received, and very pleased that I was able to have my acting coach (Todd Rohrbacher) come in and direct me in the scenes they produced.
ALSO, parking was VERY easy and free, which is always a relief in L.A.
The reel helped get me a new agent!
This company is wonderful! From start to finish they are attentive, friendly, patient, professional, fun and just plain awesome. I had so many questions and worries and they took the time to explain anything I needed and make me feel confident and at ease. The quality of everything is top notch– from the writing to the finished product. The actual filming was truly fun! The people are all really cool. The reel helped get me a new agent! Enough said.
Immediately started getting more auditions
The crew at CYR were very helpful and professional, they filmed both my son and daughters reels. It was refreshing to see that they really cared about the end product and that we weren’t just a number to them, they took the time to understand my kids strengths and weaknesses. The end result was great, the kids immediately started getting more auditions and call backs!
Beautiful, professional and high quality
Create Your Reel offers an amazing product. I was skeptical at first because we all have heard horror stories of wasted money in this business. But CYR has given me a beautiful demo reel that is both professional looking and high quality. And they are very nice people to boot! I fully intend on using them again.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone
I thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone at Create Your Reel; they were tireless, enthusiastic and I will be a returning client. Everyone who’s viewed my scenes has had great comments and always asked with whom I worked. Thanks Create You Reel.

I had the most amazing working experience!
I don’t know where to start. I had the most amazing working experience with everyone! They definitely proved to be AMAZING! I filmed 3 scenes and the director, Steve was great. He took his time and really made sure that I walked away with a great product. I was amazed at how each set was made, how perfect the lighting was and the overall quality of my reel. It was such a joy working with them and I would HIGHLY recommend them to EVERYONE!
One of the most positive experiences
This was by far one of the most positive experiences I have had in the industry. These guys are so professional and they don’t stop until you get exactly what you need. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. It is so vital for actors to have a great reel these days and they provide that 100%. I can not say enough about them!
Extremely professional operation
The bottom line is that my agents needed me to give them a reel. I made this one, and they flipped out. I found the staff to be professional and easy to work with — I needed to have a lot of leeway with making my own scenes, and they were flexible, patient and accommodating. The end result is that I got the reel I wanted – the reel that is right for me as a performer. Far more efficient than building a reel out of less than ideal cuts from student film, etc.
Note that I paid to have an outside hair and makeup artist be on set. I would recommend that. I also had an outside director, in part to ensure my own control over the scenes. You might consider bringing your own director if you already know exactly what you want, but obviously it’s not necessary…Steve does a great job with directing too. He did DP on my reel and the sets and shots were amazing.
Last note: the post prod on my reel is so great. And that’s all included. You just have to wait a week after the shoot.
You’re great!!
You’re great!!
I’d give more stars if I could.
I’d give more stars if I could. GREAT TEAM! Great writing, great directing, great editing. All you have to do is look at their samples to see that they are head and shoulders above the competition. It feels AMAZING to finally have reels (I shot drama and comedy) that I can feel really proud of. Can’t recommend them enough! Do it. Do it now.
I now have a huge connection!
You guys are the best. Fern Champion (one of the top casting directors who discovered Cameron Diaz and a bunch of other celebrities) called me in for a one on one meeting after someone sent her my reel. Thanks to all of you, I now have a huge connection!

Amazing reel … gotten me a lot of praise
I love this company!! I have such an amazing reel that has gotten me a lot of praise. It is important for an actor to have good quality footage of you on tape. It is also important to have on tape what is what your market is. With create your reel I was in control of the finished product and with their expertise got amazing footage out of it. What they do with the lighting and the shots is impeccable. They are a great recourse for actors and anyone needing a reel should use them.
Got audition & role on “All My Children”
I want to thank CreateYourReel for doing such a great job on my reel. Last week I got a call from a casting agent at “All My Children” who saw my reel. The next day I auditioned and was given the role on the spot.
Been called twice to casting office
I love Create Your Reel! I had some characters that I wanted to play, and specific TV shows (Private Practice and Grey’s Anatomy) that I wanted to target that my current reel didn’t capture. So, I added these 3 scenes into my reel and I’ve been called in twice to the office that cast those shows…Coincidence? I don’t think so!

I booked a role on “The Office”
I shot my demo reel with Create Your Reel and one week later I booked a role on “The Office” that shoots for a week. Thank you for making the experience of shooting my demo so much fun. And thank you for letting me show casting directors the work I can do. It paid off.
Helped me put my best foot forward
I had a great experience with Create Your Reel. The direction and editing were both smart and creative, often honing my ideas to give me the best scenes possible. There is no doubt that with this simple one minute reel, they’ve helped me put my best foot forward.
A worthy investment!
I flew to L.A. for the first time from the east coast to make my demo reel. I’m only two hours from NYC but the people here at Create Your Reel are simply the best. If you’re serious about your career and want the very best demo reel, then there’s no better choice. A worthy investment!
Mark Teschner at GH was blown away
My reel is amazing and as soon as I have more money, I am going to add to this reel. Mark Teschner at GH was blown away by this reel and I need more.
Took the stress out of getting my reel
Create your reel was a great experience for me. I had been trying to get my reel together for a long time now by doing unpaid shorts, but very rarely got the footage back from the director. Create you reel took the stress out of trying to get my reel together. The director and assistant director were fun but professional. I got great direction and I am very happy with the end product. I also really apprecited how quickly I recieved the files and youtube link. Great company!
The professionalism exceeded all expectations
My experience with Create Your Reel was one that I will never forget. The professionalism that surrounded the process exceeded all expectations. From getting the scenes perfected, to the actual shoot day everything was organized and thorough. The Director and the Assistant Director made the shooting process comfortable and made me feel confident in the product I would receive. The quality of the footage is top notch. I LOVE my reel and would shoot with them again anyday!!
They are the first & only one on my list
My experience with them was unbelievable. They really work with you more than a 100% to get what you need for your reel. I had so much fun, and recommend anybody to work these guys. If I need more on my reel, they are the first one on my list and the only one on my list.
The production value is awesome
These guys are amazing. It is very much your reel and they will work with you to make sure you are the best you can be from the moment you sign up to getting the footage in your hand. The production value is awesome and I would recommend them to anyone!
They don’t stop until you’re 100% happy
These guys are very professional and hand you a great product. They don’t stop working until you’re 100% happy with your reel. I highly recommend them.
Nothing short of amazing
My experience with this company has been and continues to be nothing short of amazing. I was recommended to them from a very reputable theatrical agent in LA. From the detail in the initial conversation to the final product, they were professional and made feel comfortable. I walked away with an amazing product and I continue to use their services and highly recommend them to all my actor friends!
The best!
You guys are the best!!
Wonderful experience from start to finish.

Exactly what I needed
The team was great, helpful and very willing to work with me, the client, to help create exactly what I needed to create a fresh, new demo reel.
Final product was amazing
I had such a great time shooting my reel! The day off went so efficiently, and the final product was amazing thanks to the great script, direction, and attitudes.
Worth every penny!
This was my first experience creating my own reel and I couldn’t have been more pleased. I told them exactly what I wanted and they created three scenes that showcased my talents. When I felt like one of the scenes needed to be reworked, they were receptive to my ideas as well as throwing in some of their own. We filmed each scene over and over until we were ALL happy with the results. The thing that really did it for me was how comfortable they made me feel. And, my amount of auditions has increased. Worth every penny!
I had a great experience.
I had a great experience. The staff really had my best interests at heart and went out of their way to make sure we got it right! I was so pleased with the final outcome and so were my agents!
Very professional and knowledgeable!
Create Your Reel did a fantastic job at creating sides that really fit my daughter’s personality and acting styles. The filming session was so relaxed. Everyone that worked with us was very professional and knowledgeable! Thanks, Create Your Reel!
Expert direction brought out my skills
Create Your Reel made the entire process painless. They shot my comedy reel in a matter of hours, gave me expert direction that brought out my marketable skills, and my edited reel was ready the very next day. The production quality is wonderful and the price is very reasonable. I liked my comedy reel so much that I shot my dramatic reel shortly afterward, and similarly had a great experience.

I found a solution.
I recently moved out to Los Angeles from New York and didn’t have a reel I was proud of, especially for a town like LA where you pretty much have to have video to get work. When I heard about Create YourReel from my agent and took a look at your website and prices, I knew I had found a solution. Their professionalism and friendliness convinced me to tell all my friends. I’ve been getting out consistently since I shot this reel. Thank you!
An enjoyable and rewarding experience

Definitely a team with great ideas
They are definitely a team with great ideas. They provided me with a professional working environment and an incredible set. I was very glad to have my demo shot with them.
Booked a job straight off my reel!
I had a great time and felt I actually learned more in one day of shooting with Create Your Reel then in a 6-week on-camera acting class. My reel looks completely professional and, because I got to decide what was shot, it’s well-targeted to the type of work I want to focus on. AND I’ve already booked a job straight off my reel … ¦I didn’t even have to audition.
Very professional
Create Your Reel did a great job. They worked with me to come up with scenes that would show of my talents. All aspects of the videos are very professional: writing, lighting, sfx and direction. I recommend them to anyone who needs a great looking reel.
Professional reel that gets me in the door
The focus was on me and what I wanted. I felt very comfortable, and had a blast experimenting during the shoot to make sure we got the best possible take. Thanks to Create Your Reel, I have a professional reel that helps get me in the door.
Fantastic experience making my reel!
I had a fantastic experience making my reel! I highly recommend Create Your Reel as everyone involved is extremely professional, providing a safe and trusting environment to work in.
I had an awesome time!
