Reel Media Entertainment Reviews

  • Sep 4, 2017

My daughter, age 16, is an actress. She often submits for projects via services such as Actors' Access (which we've found to be 100% legit) and Casting Networks (not so legit; more on that later.) She submitted via Casting Networks for a project called "Vantage Points: Shadows in the Mirror" by a company calling themselves Reel Media Entertainment.

According to the posting, actors would paid for transportation to Los Angeles, hotel accommodations, meals, and $250 per day for 5 days of filming. This sounded great, so my daughter submitted her resume and photos.

She was thrilled when she got an email from the casting director, asking her to send a taped mononlogue. She was even more thrilled when the casting director set up a Skype audition with the producer. And she was ecstatic when the director called her the next evening and offered her a part in the movie.

The following morning, I received an emailed copy of the contract.

It stated that we would have to pay a $4,800 "co-investment" for her to take part in the project. Say what?

My daughter was crushed. How dare these slimeballs get her hopes up like that?

I tried calling Casting Networks to report them, but I was on hold for over 30 minutes and gave up. I sent an email explaining what had happened. They responded the following day, stating that they had removed the posting from their site and banned Reel Media Entertainment from all further postings.

I feel as though Casting Networks should do a better job of screening companies that want to post on their site. Nothing like this has happened with all of the dozens of projects my daughter has submitted for through other services. We're pretty much done with Casting Networks.

And I feel that the liars from Reel Media Entertainment should be exposed for what they are: greedy, heartless opportunists who have no qualms about misleading hopeful, inexperienced young people.
