How it works

SHOWREEL · PROFILE STRATEGY · NEXT STEPS

We start where you are.

You don't need to have everything ready. I will help you see what you already have, what is missing, and what is worth doing next.

It’s not about doing everything.
It’s about doing the right things.

1. We start with a short conversation

You tell me a little about yourself, what you have done, and where you are right now. We look at the material and profiles you already have and talk about what you want to move forward with. You don't need to have everything ready from the start. If you don't have any material at all, we can also start from scratch. We start where you are and see what the next step is.

2. We go through what you already have

Showreels, film clips, images, profiles, and other material. What works? What needs to be clearer? What can be removed? Sometimes new material is needed; sometimes it is mostly about choosing the right things and daring to simplify.

3. We build a clearer overall picture

This could involve a new or updated showreel, a better selection of images, clearer profiles, or supplementary material. The goal is not to do as much as possible. The goal is for what you show to provide a clear picture of who you are and what you can do.

4. We make you easier to find

Once the foundation is in place, we make sure it’s ready to be used. Your showreel will get a permanent link that you can send on, and you can have your own simple website where your material and presentation are gathered. We will also review how you present yourself on the platforms where you are already active.

5. Then we put it to use

A great presentation is of no use if it just sits there waiting. The next step is to find the right contacts, reach out, build relationships, and make yourself visible. I will help you think about which paths suit you and how you can start getting out into the industry in a more active way.

FAQ

Content and editing

Can you help me with my images and my 'About me' text?

Yes. Your images and text are a vital part of how you are perceived. We look at which images strengthen your profile, which ones might be better removed, and what your 'About me' text actually says about you. The text shouldn't just be another CV; it should help casting directors get a sense of the person behind the profile.

How can I increase my visibility between jobs?

You don't need to wait for the next casting call. We can review which casting platforms you're on, how you use your showreel and profiles, how you build connections, and how to make yourself easier to find. Lindberg Showreels clients can also be featured on our website and have the opportunity to be showcased in newsletters to industry contacts.

How do I know if my casting profiles are working?

A casting profile should quickly provide a clear picture of who you are. I look at your profile picture, other photos, 'About me' text, showreel, information, and the material that actually helps you. The goal isn't to fill the profile with as much as possible, but to make it clear, relevant, and easy to understand.

I already have a showreel. Can you still help me?

Absolutely. Your showreel is just one part of your presentation. We can review your headshots, bio, casting profiles, visibility, and how everything works together. Sometimes the showreel is already great, but the rest of the profile needs to catch up.

I am applying for jobs but not getting much of a response. What can I do?

There can be many reasons for this, which is why I prefer to look at the big picture rather than focusing on a single detail. We will go through your showreel, photos, 'About Me' text, casting profiles, the material you present, and how clear your profile is. Sometimes the next step involves better material. Sometimes it is about decluttering, simplifying, or becoming more focused. And sometimes it is about starting to work more actively on your networking and visibility between jobs.

I'm not really sure what my next step as an actor should be. Can you help me?

Yes. That is a major part of the profile strategy. We look at where you are right now, what you already have, and what actually needs to be done next. This could involve your showreel, new headshots, casting profiles, a better 'About Me' text, self-tapes, original material, a website, or how to start networking. You don't need to do everything at once. The point is to find the right next step.

What do you mean by profile strategy?

Profile strategy means we don't look at showreels, photos, text, and casting profiles as separate parts. We look at the big picture. What is already working? What is missing? What needs to be clearer? What should you prioritise now and what can wait? The goal is to make it easier for casting directors to understand who you are, while giving you a clearer path forward.

Why should I use Lindberg Showreels instead of editing my showreel myself or asking someone else to do it?

You can absolutely edit your showreel yourself or have someone else do it. The difference is that with Lindberg Showreels, you get much more than just the editing.

I review your entire presentation as an actor: which material should be included in the showreel, which headshots you use, your 'About Me' text, your casting profiles, and how all your profile materials work together.

We also look at how you are progressing as an actor, how you can become clearer and more visible, and which next steps are relevant for you specifically.

The package also includes publication on Lindberg Showreels and the opportunity to be featured in industry mailouts. Newsletters are sent to industry contacts approximately three to four times a year.

The showreel is therefore just one part of the whole. You get a showreel, profile strategy, a review of your headshots and text, casting profiles, visibility, and guidance on how to move forward.

Delivery and publishing

Can you help me with self-tapes?

Yes. I can help you choose material, prepare the scene, find the right level and ensure the focus is on you. Self-tapes can also be used to build your showreel when you don't yet have enough finished film scenes.

How long should a showreel be?

There is no magic length, but 2–4 minutes is a good rule of thumb. Your strongest material should come early. It is better to have a focused showreel with high-quality content than a longer film just to fill time.

How often do I need to update my showreel?

When you receive new material that is stronger or shows a side of you that is currently missing. It may also be time to review your showreel if your appearance has changed or if it no longer represents where you are today.

I have very little footage. What should I do?

That doesn't mean you have to wait. Short clips can sometimes work, and we can also create new material through self-tapes or simpler scenes that focus on you. The most important thing is that the material actually shows something useful.

I'm not sure which clips to choose for my showreel. Can you help me?

Yes. Send over the material and I will review it, providing an objective perspective on what strengthens your profile and what might not be necessary. You always have the final say, but you will also get an honest answer from me.

I only have very short clips. Can they be used?

Yes, sometimes. A few seconds can be enough if the clip shows you clearly and adds value. The deciding factor isn't the length of the original clip, but what we can actually get out of it.

What is the process for editing my showreel?

I will review the material and put together an initial draft based on what I think works best. We can then go through it together. You are, of course, welcome to provide feedback and suggest changes. I will also let you know if I feel any of the material isn't working for you.

Payment

Do I have to pay everything at once?

No. Payment is made after delivery, and you can also spread the cost over three months. Your finances for a particular week shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether you can move forward with your material.

What happens when my showreel is finished?

You will receive your finished showreel and a permanent Vimeo link to use on casting profiles, your website, and in your professional correspondence. The link remains the same; when we update your showreel later, the video at that address updates automatically, so you don't need to manually replace the link on every platform where you have shared it.

Depending on the package, you may also be featured on Lindberg Showreels and have the opportunity to be showcased in industry newsletters.
