ABOUT US
Hi there! Welcome to Pro-Actor Showreels!
We are a London based videography company specialising in bespoke actor showreels. As trained actors, we know fully the importance of having a reel that not only reflects you accurately, but shows you off to your absolute best - it is our aim to catch the casting directors eye within the first few second & to get you in the room!
Our clients often thank us for helping get them seen for more castings & a number have gone to have success in TV & Film!
PAS is ran by ex-actor now-videographer/filmmaker Matt Parsons whose acting experience includes Theatre & TV & filming experience includes multiple award winning short films and work featured in Vanity Fair.
We also shoot short films, gigs, events, business promo, content, headshots, portraits & more, so don't hesitate to get in touch about how we can help your project!

t&c's
​
these t&c's are our most up to date, and apply to all work taken on by PAS.
deposits:
your deposit is to secure the discussed date discussed and written on your invoice for filming. All deposits are non-refundable. A change of this date can be requested with enough notice given (to PAS discretion), but an extra deposit may be necessary to secure another date. By paying the deposit, you are acknowledging your understanding of these terms and conditions.
​
payment
the client will have until the day of the shoot to pay the remainder of the invoice. pro-actor showreels holds the right to refuse filming to those who have not paid by the agreed upon shoot date.
​
scene lengths
the scenes we film must run 1.30 in length which we measure at 1-1.5 pages of correctly screenplay formatted dialogue. It is within our right to refuse to film a scene that is longer than the accepted length, or charge more to film longer scenes and cover our editing time.
​
covid
all deposits for showreels and workshops are non refundable. If government rules change in relation to Covid19, we will be rescheduling shoots and workshops at the soonest available time in which it is safe to do so.
​
issues on the film day
you acknowledge that part of filming means sometimes external factors can come into play and we may not be able to shoot the scene as intended (for example - weather, unforeseen noise etc). In this situation, we will do our best to work around it. If in the worst case scenario, the shoot cannot be completed, the clients will be expected to pay for the scenes shot on that day. any additional travel necessary for the client for a re-shoot will not be covered by pro-actor showreels, and clients will not be expected to pay any extra to cover the time of the videographer and sound recorder.
​
travel issues
PAS will not be held responsible for any travel issues on the day of shoot. It is understood that clients will check their travel routes ahead of time and plan their travel accordingly. PAS will not be liable to offer any refund due to travel or transportation strike issues.
​
editing
first edits will be aimed to be delivered within 2-3 weeks of our shoot. if a circumstance arrises where this is not possible, we will discuss this with you asap.
​
once you have received our edits of the scenes you may send back a one set of notes before the final product is settled upon. It is ultimately our discretion which takes are used in the final product to keep the product at the highest standard. After this, any additional editing will be billed at £25/hour. Notes must be sent within 2 week or additional charges will be incurred.
Adding your previous material to the reel will cost extra.
​
the client is given a maximum of two weeks to return any notes they have on the first edit - if no notes are received within this timeframe, pro-actor showreels will assume that the client is happy with the product as is and any further work from this point will be charged at the hourly rate. due to storage limitations, we at pro-actor showreels are not required to hold on to footage and rushes or provide further edits past this two week point.
​
termination of contract​
pro-actor showreels reserves the right to terminate the contract of any client who breaches our code of ethics. we have a zero tolerance policy and abusive language or behaviour of any form will result in contract termination. contract termination will also occur if the terms and conditions agreement is violated.
​
use of footage
pro-actor showreels ultimately owns all footage shot on the day, and it is within our right to use footage in any way for social media/branding/business promotion. By filming with pro-actor showreels you acknowledge this and consent to your image potentially being used in these ways. you will not use the footage for any purpose other than showreel footage, and any monetisation must be agreed with pro-actor showreels.
​
after the edit
once final edits have been agreed upon and the client has received final edits, pro-actor showreels holds no obligation to retain any footage from the shoot. All footage will be deleted 1 month after the edits are agreed upon or if not further contact is made in this time.
​
Should shoot dates need to be rearranged, pro-actor showreels holds no responsibility in covering change of transportation/accomodation to or from the shoot.
​
pro-actor showreels takes no responsibility for the client not reading and acknowledging these t&c's. we hope you understand all our terms and conditions are to protect both ourselves and the clients and to be as transparent as possible in what services we are providing.
