Hi,
This is the first time that I've ever post anything..... Is there anyone out there that would be interested in collaborating to build show reel material? I'm an actor that has today dropped my agent (eek!) and am now looking to start over in building a really beautiful, well shot reel.
I really hate the idea of paying for this service as (in my opinion) you can always tell because of the pressure put on that one scene and would much prefer to shot a couple of scenes as if they were just a scene taken out of a film / a slice of life.
I'm so tired of looking through sites like CCP as I don't want to play a zombie slut or someone asked to pull 'a range of face expressions'. I want to create really detailed, naturalistic, complex characters with an inner life (sorry if I sound like a wanker!).
Does anyone have any scripts that I could read? Any film makers looking to build on material of their own? Or any other trained / experienced actors out there that wants to get involved?
There are so many talented people out there and I think it would be great if we all pulled together.
Contact me via this message or by email gracehalliday1@googlemail.com.

Uxbridge - shouldn't be a problem. And yeah, it's been down for a little while now - been too busy working to revamp it and get it back online (it's on my long list of things I need to do...) - just sent you an email :)

Hi Grace,
Hi Grace,
I saw your post.
I'm looking to build, long-term, future collaborations and am currently Exec Producer on 4 shorts, all currently at different stages, but I also am learning the craft of screenwriting. I've contributed to a couple of scripts. The idea struck me that perhaps we could generate something unique for you for your show reel? I'm going to email something I wrote to you.
Best wishes

Hi Grace - I'd be happy to shoot some scenes for you - in fact, I was planning on looking for someone on here to help me with shooting stock footage so perhaps we can help one another out. You don't say where you're based?
Best,

Hi All,
I'm so sorry that I haven't been in touch with a few of you that have contacted me. I've had a big if a nightmare recently and am not usually so flakey. I plan on catching up with myself next week now that things have calmed down. Apologies for being so rude!

Hi Grace, I'm looking to do the same thing so maybe we can use each others time wisely and work on something together or at least use the same crew in the same day or something.....just a thought! I've found it quite difficult to get everyone available on the same day for no pay as we all have to take paid work if it comes in...let me know your thoughts or what you find on here. Be good to hear from you. lianne_tucker@live.co.uk

Hi Grace,
I'm a camera assistant/sound and editor and have been working in production for over a year, however I've only had the chance to work with sensitive information therefore I myself have NO showreel after 1,5 years :(
I'd be more than up for a shooting/editing or assisting with a couple of scenes, I have a very good friend who is an actress looking to build her reel too and a network of free bodies just starting out in the industry who we can all collaborate with.
I'm in central London, if your around please give me a call on 07867156548 we could set up a meeting and go through some ideas all together if you're happy?
Thanks for posting!

Hi Grace,
Good luck with the project. If at any stage you feel you'd like an editor to cut the scenes and / or reel together, do get in touch. I am also based in North London.
Best wishes,

No of course you're not too late. No particular themes as such but I'd quite like to play a young mum, a young professional and try some comedy. I'm just trying to be really strategic with how I'm presenting myself now that I'm in my thirties.

Thanks Jackie. I'm def interested in hearing any ideas that you have. Just been a bit nosey and found your CCP show reel and think we could work really well together. Do you mind sending me an email (address at the top) of any ideas that you have/what you're looking for?

Thanks everyone for your messages and emails. There are so many talented people on here. I think that I've responded to everyone now. Actor-wise I'm still looking at scripts so haven't forgotten anyone that has posted/messaged here. I've had a lot of work come up so hasn't been as on it as usual so please don't think me rude or ungrateful.
Dziko, thanks for this but I'm working away the 5th of July.
* I'm still looking for a writer to write something that suits what I'm looking for. I have a few ideas of characters/scenarios that I'd like to play around with or am open to other ideas.
* I'm still open to working with as many people that have good quality recording equipment incl sound/lighting.
I'm probably looking at filming early August time so would love to hear from anyone else.
Andrew- are you still interested in getting involved - I realise that I never got round to calling you and fear I may have missed the boat.
Tim, I know we messaged back and forth but I would love to hear any more ideas for scripts that you have. I would say that my acting style tends to veer towards drama but I am actually very dry and sarcastic in real life so everyone assumes that I do comedy (which I'd def like to try more). I don't think that any of the scripts that you sent me would be right for what I'm looking for but I really enjoyed reading them. If you had the time and were able to write something then I would love that!
Matt, thanks for this. I absolutely would love to chat with you about this (maybe after we've decided what material we're filming??)
Gabrielle, Robert, Jackie and Lianne - as I said before it would be lovely to hear more from you about what you need. I've got a couple of idea but have you got any ideas of characters/scenarios that you'd like to play that you may want on your showreel??
Anyone else that has messaged me privately. I'm still in talks with most of you but if I haven't please message me again.
Let's make this happen!

Hello Grace,
Always looking to collaborate and assist.
Aside from acting, I write/produce/direct shorts and also work with a variety of musicians creating organic sounds suitable for the sublime and ridiculous!
All the best,

Thanks Matt. That sounds good! Az and Robert we could also discuss ideas- maybe send me an email of the type of material that you need character wise and we could maybe bounce ideas.
Sorry for the late reply I'm doing a spot of filming that ends today so will be back in it then.

Hey Grace,
Was wondering how you're getting along with this project. I would definitely be interested in getting involved. I'm an actor and would love to work with some like minded people. Like you I would like to try some comedy as my current showreel is quite dramatic and I would just love to do something a bit lighter.
Early August would work for me as well.
Do get in touch with me, i would love to hear from you.
Best
Emma
