“Casting Directors love the new sixty second demo reel format and Derrick’s genius helped me put together two dynamic sixty second demo reels - both comedy and drama. The five minute demo reel he put together for me was unbelievable. Within a week of its completion, I booked a lead in a movie... solely from the demo reel!”

- Jean St. James
“Derrick waded through dozens of small roles on vhs tapes, dvds, dv tapes, and computer files to re-edit scenes and produce a killer demo reel that's all about me, which I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on. Whenever I hear that an actor needs a new demo reel or re-editing on their existing demo reel, I send them to Derrick with complete confidence that they're getting the absolute most demo reel for their money.”

- Jean-Pierre Parent

Derrick is amazing! He really brings out the best in your work and arranges it into a masterpiece. I have received so many great comments on my demo reel. Derrick truly is nothing short of a demo reel GOD.

- Ashlie Victoria Clark

Derrick is one of the finest demo reel editors in town because he is an extremely attentive person at catering to the actor's every need and pays awesome attention to detail. He is a patient individual (which you will seldom find in editors working with actors today). His prices are competitve and the quality of his work is heads above the rest. Derrick is a perfectionist when it comes to his work because he not only wants you to look your best in the reel, he brings a personal desire to make the editing of your reel look absolute. So he will fine tune everything to make sure that what you are sending out is both an incredible representation of yourself, and the most professional demo reel available on the market today. I would highly recommend Derrick to anyone who is looking to create picture perfect quality in video format for their demo reel or anything else.

My demo reel was better than I expected! I am 100% satisfied and can't wait to get more material so I can go back and add more. Derrick is a creative editor...and got my demo reel done faster than I thought. He's a keeper!

- Jwandace Candece

Even though I've starred in only a few independent films and limited commercials, my lack of credits are no longer a handicap thanks to Derrick's keen eye. By selecting the best of what little I had, Derrick made me look like a long time professional who has gone unnoticed for good reason. Now when casting directors see my demo reel, they don't ask, "who is this guy?" but rather "how can we get this guy in front of us." Thanks, Derrick! My demo reel is now fantastic!

- Trevor Boelter

“Derrick took my tape and turned my demo reel into guest star looking material! He has a flair for capturing just what a demo reel should be about - YOU!!! Thank you, Derrick! I am incredibly pleased!”

- Michelle Merring
“According to everyone I speak to in the industry, online demo reels are becoming a very valuable and vital casting tool. It is something every actor will need to succeed. Derrick’s product is solid and he welcomes your input. It’s your demo reel and your body of work - Derrick gets that. I was more than pleased with my demo reel and so was my agent.”

- Bob Rumnock

“I've always been happy with demo reels I've had created elsewhere. I'm now thrilled with my new one. Somehow Derrick made my old footage look fresher and fit perfectly with the new work I brought him. I was treated like an artist - not a customer. He's more patient than anyone I've ever worked with. He's creative and cares about the work and making the actor look good. My agent and colleagues are impressed with how wonderful the editing is. And it was fun. Dare I say, my demo reel feels so good now, I don't know if I want to ever add to it? Not true. Yes, it looks real good, but I also look forward to getting back with Derrick over and over in the upcoming years and putting some more footage into my demo reel and watching him work his magic.”

Derrick's work ethic, creative editing skill and discerning eye are all exemplary. These remarkable qualities combine to produce outstanding, world-class actor's demo reels. It's a highly effective marketing tool that's given me an edge in L.A.'s intensely competitive show business arena. The fact that he's patient, genuinely friendly and cost-effective is just an added bonus. I enthusiastically recommend him!

- Tom Derek

I am very glad I chose to go with my instinct and have Derrick do my reel. He takes the time to make sure he gives you a great product you are happy with and really cares about making your reel the very best it can be.

-- Serena Lorien

Derrick delivered the most attentive client support from the time he received the DVDs of my work to just several days later when I received the shipment of the outstanding finished product. When telling an actress with whom I'm working now in a feature film how pleased I was with my demo reel and the extraordinary fast, high quality service, she said she has been waiting months for her reel!She has an impressive resume and I was glad to give her the contact info for Reels for Actors.Why chance missing auditions and bookings because one of your most powerful door-opening tools is stuck in slow motion?! Thanks, Derrick, and I'll return to you with my work in "Malevolence 2" to edit into my reel!

-- Andrea Havens

Derrick is a reel hero! I needed a reel within 24 hours to present to Agents and Managers, and Reels for Actors came to my rescue. Derrick is fast, precise, creative, and very professional. I walked into my meetings with a new level of confidence. I was also able to contact industry Executives faster with the one minute version of my reel via email. Many thanks to Reels for Actors. I highly recommend Reels for Actors to everyone out there!
