Testimonials

“What an amazing experience. I was seen for a last minute audition and arrived at the studio and was so impressed by the quality and work and attention to detail. He's an excellent reader, He had anti-shine papers on hand, a prop basket, is able to do beauty lighting, and playback on a very large hi res screen. Equally as impressive was the precision of his work. This man runs a tight ship. The best I've worked with in a very long time. It's a pleasure to work with someone who has built an effective, thoughtful business.”

“I just wanted to reach out to tell you how much I enjoyed taping with you. The tape came out great and it was awesome bouncing off ideas and working together with you on this. You saw some different things that I believed helped me with the audition. I ultimately booked this one and am in the airport heading to Virginia now to start filming until November! Thank you again!”

“I’m visiting Vancouver while filming a TV show and needed to get a quick self-tape audition done. The folks at Reel Strength were professional, kind and easy to work with. Their backdrop options are great. Excellent camera quality, sound and editing. Super convenient to my downtown hotel. It took the stress off of me and I feel really good about sending this tape to the Los Angeles casting director. Give them a try!”

“Do you need a place to self tape with great lighting, great sound, great space and great vibe?
Are you finding that the self taping facilities available in town are getting costly for an artist who supplements their income to pay the rent? I needed to put something on tape last minute and reached out to Krzysztof with Reel Strength Productions and he immediately accommodated me, and was also available to be a reader for me, uploaded everything, added all the necessary slate and rep info and was incredibly courteous and gracious through the whole process. Located in Kits, the building is on Chestnut, just over the Burrard Bridge. Grab a bite to eat at Siegel’s Bagels, while you run over your lines, and know you will be very well taken care of for $30 for a half hour.”

“Krzysztof and Samantha are a dynamic team with a lot of heart and talent. I have collaborated with them on several projects both in Toronto and in Vancouver and the experience has consistently been positive, resulting in projects that have toured the festival circuit. Many of these projects have also garnered several accolades for the cast and crew. As an independent filmmaker, I regard Krzysztof and Samantha’s professionalism, dedication, and high standards to be the best in a such competitive field.”

“We work in an industry that moves fast. Huge opportunities - when they happen - come at a moment’s notice. That’s why it’s important to work with people you trust.

“I’m so glad I found Reel Strength Studios. When I come in I feel super comfortable and at ease, and I feel like I can take my time to get the taping that I want. I love having male or female readers depending on the scene, and I love coming in and being free to do my own choices so the audition really feels like my own. The best part is the camera quality. The camera picks up everything that’s going on your face, the smallest of nuances. You don’t see how big of a difference it makes until you watch it back. I really appreciate that Reel Strength invested in an amazing camera, and really flattering back drops. I’ve had great success with my tapings there so far and will be coming back again and again”

“I can’t recommend the team at Reel Strength enough. Samantha and Kris have an amazing set up and their camera quality and lighting ensure you always look your best in tapes. Their warm, helpful and welcoming nature results in a stress free taping experience and I always feel like I have room to play, can try different ideas and most importantly tape as many times as I need. They go beyond what is expected and I think its safe to say I have found my regular taping studio!”

“I was looking for a quick, new and efficient way to do self tapes. I googled “Actor Self Taping Vancouver”, and Reel Strength Productions came up. Great name I thought. After a simple text or two and a quick response, I found myself in a professionally equipped apartment studio, conveniently located, and ready to roll on my scene. I felt well supported in the able hands of Krzysztof and Sam, both actors themselves. Sam read, Krzysztof rolled, and in thirty minutes the work was done and soon after shipped off to my agent. And all at a great price. Reel Strength provides professional quality tapings with a personal touch. I highly recommend them.”

“Working with Reel Strength on two of my creative products has been an excellent experience. Work is professional and congenial at all stages- pre-production/planning, production/filming, and post-production/editing. This is a team worth trusting your projects with. They are collaborative and caring. Our first project together, a short film which originated from a very personal place has been successful in festivals and truly captured the relationship and themes I wanted to explore. Our second project, promotional materials for my play “Carriage” included a promo trailer which was beautifully done and conveyed the mood of the play combining my text and their images. So happy to work with them and so happy to recommend their work to other artists.”

I’ve been going to Reel Strength for demo scenes and taped auditions for over a year now and no matter how tight the turnaround time is to get the tape off to casting, they’ve always been there for me. They are multi-talented actors, directors and editors that offer an incredibly supportive and inviting space for you to do your best work.”

“It takes a lot of work to cut a quality scene and they did excellent. You need the right material but also a crew that knows how to do sound, lighting and of course, camera work. I’m glad that I cut my scenes and shot my demo with them. They are true professionals.”

“The professionalism and quality you get from Reel Strength is phenomenal. They will always be my first choice and recommendation. I have filmed both demo scenes and self tapes with Reel Strength. It was my first time filming demo scenes and they were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They collaborated with me on branding, scene selection, and choosing the other actors. During the filming of the scenes, they were very professional and easy to work with. The quality of the final product was amazing. For self tapes, I have found them to be very accommodating with scheduling tapes that are required on short notice. The final edited tape has always been emailed to myself and my agent by the time I get home, and the quality is second to none.”

“This past week I had a demo scene filmed with Reel Strength and I can’t say enough good things about this company. They’re talented, professional, kind and even more importantly they actually care about their clients. The scene I got back from them looks movie quality and I couldn’t be happier. I also go to them to get audition tapes filmed and they’ve been helpful, caring and professional every time and the quality is always amazing. They’re seriously the best in Vancouver.”

“The real strength in Reel Strength productions comes from the two owners. Samantha and Krzysztof love filmmaking and are very good at it. working with them is extremely fun and productive. I highly recommend Reel Strength  productions. Upon meeting Samantha and Krzysztof, I immediately had confidence in their professionalism. This allowed me to focus on my own acting. The result was a much higher quality reel than would've otherwise been possible. I strongly recommend reel strength productions. .”

“These guys are super friendly and professional. They do excellent work with Demo Reels and with self tape auditions. Very easy to work with and they for sure know what they are doing. Not only I got a great product but also gained really good new friends and colleagues! Will try to hire them for my short film sometime next year! For people that want to do Demo Reels from scratch in case you don’t have film footage, I highly recommend hiring one of their writers as original work always looks better for agents and casting directors.”
