The staged reel will give you the resume worthy content you need to compete and put you on a level playing field with your peers who have had the luxury of acting in past productions. Now you will be able to approach casting directors with your own professional reel. With the staged reel, you get all of the essential content you would from a typical production.

You will not have to go it alone, we will direct your performance every step of the way to ensure you are putting your best foot forward to land jobs. The responsibility of a narrative film director is to discern your strengths and capitalize on them in your performance. A director must posses the skill to cultivate your potential and bring a great performance to fruition.  We pride ourselves in having a discerning eye and great work ethic. At Lifeline Pictures we have a saying, “No Scene Left Behind”.

We offer this service to producers seeking fresh and engaging content, or to those who are aspiring actors but do not have the means of acquiring copyright-free material to perform for their actors reel. We provide custom scripts for individuals who are seeking to sell themselves as actors.

In this day and age, everyone has a Facebook, Myspace, Twitter or other social networking page, but how serious would you like casting directors to take you. We are not saying those mentioned aren’t good means of exposure, but professionals will only take you as serious as you take yourself. A professional website doesn’t mean you have to go out and spend an arm and a leg, nor does it mean you get the roll, but remember, having a website that represents you as an artist helps further distance yourself from the competition. We can help in this area as well at an affordable cost.

We have extremely talented acting coaches on staff to assist a beginner to the craft or if you find yourself needing to brush up on your skills, we have you covered.

We have some of the most creative writers on staff to prepare your professional bio, while you are getting the rest of your actor make over done. Simply supply our writer with an overview of who you are and a list of accomplishments and they will handle the rest. The great thing about the staged reel is if you are a beginner, your resume will no longer look bare. An onscreen presence now legitimizes you and puts you in the game.

As mentioned previously, Lifeline Pictures normally casts for productions 3 times a year and will feature talent who we have done reels for and hand pick talent from our own database.

There are good headshots and there are bad headshots. As the saying goes “A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words” and it can be a deal maker or breaker in an industry where the competition is steep. Utilizing top-of-the-line equipment and skilled photographers is important for catching your essence. We will not settle for headshots that do not scream professional. Remember your headshot will often be your first line of promotion and if it doesn’t get you noticed, your actor’s reel will be in vein.

Lifeline Pictures and The Actors Bridge will look to host at least one major talent workshop per year, in which we will seek to bring the talent and industry leaders together. We will also host acting seminars, all of which will cost nothing for those who have utilized our services.

We just wrapped up a few films last year in which we casted several children. Since then, we have been contacted by other directors who have asked about the children we’ve cast. Word of mouth is huge in this industry and goes along way if you build a good reputation. An advantage you have by utilizing our services is referral, as long as you are willing to work hard for yourself first.

We have a professional makeup artist on staff to assist you in getting that professional look you see on big budget films. Looking good in front of the camera further increases your net worth and lets people know you take the craft seriously.

Services will be offered on a package basis, but will be offered separate to those who may not need everything. Make an appointment today for a free consultation to see how these services may benefit you. We look forward to meeting with you and assisting you in your journey.
