We're Reel motion
We make short films, spec scenes, and cinematic showreel content for actors. Maybe you're a creative team developing a script, and want to provide commissioners with a scene to help them visualise the concept. Or maybe you're an actor whose been doing a modern gritty crime drama for the last year, but you'd like to show casting professionals some period drama to broaden the way they see you. Or maybe you're fresh out of drama school and need a lead role to start your showreel the way you mean to go on. We help actors by giving them individually and carefully designed showreel content. And we hire awesome professional film crew when they're not working on features or TV projects.

Project Announcement - April 2016 - TV Crime Drama
overview
Our spring project, The Container, is an original-content scene from a 4-part TV Crime Drama still in development. (reference: Jessica Jones, The Bridge, Person of Interest)
The project will be shot at the end of May, on a canal boat, and the adjacent street: mood-rich and graffiti-textured Corbridge Crescent in Tower Hamlets in London. The Container will be directed by Luce Newman-Williams, Produced by Tom Lancaster, and shot by cinematographer Alfie Biddle with the help of a 10-strong crew.
story
American Detective Alicia Andrews’ 6 year hunt for serial killer Collin Cready leads her to London. Her weariness and cynicism contrast sharply with the idealism and youth of Peters, the freshly coined Detective Sergeant assigned to partner her (and keep an eye on her) while she assists the investigation. A secret crime-scene is the setting for a taught confrontation between the two, in which Peters has to choose whether to follow the rules, or catch a killer.
CAST
Detective Alicia Andrews will be played by award-winning actress, Kosha Engler.

Casting BREAKDOWN
Seeking: Detective Sergeant Coren Peters, 23.
Six months ago he was still a constable. He’s intelligent, but his youth makes him vulnerable. He’s not really been tested the way he will be tonight. He is curious about the beautiful Detective Andrews’ darkness and scars, and his secret obsession with her leads him to the most difficult decision of his life: is it better to break the law if it means catching the killer?
The role requires an actor whose youth and vulnerability are paired with integrity and intelligence. There's something fine, beautiful, and poetic in him. Not too heavy set, or cocky. The moment he capitulates is about the loss of innocence -- necessary, exciting, and tragic. We’ll see before he does, the trouble waiting for him.
