SFP Reels stands for Sano Film Productions – Reels.
My name is Chad Sano and I started this business because I am an actor myself, and know just how difficult it is to get great footage for a demo reel. Having a Demo Reel is more crucial now than it ever has been before! So I put together a way for actors to get cinematic looking footage that will instantly amp up the production quality of any demo reel! For more about me and my work, visit my cinematography website at SanoProductions.comWe own a Liquor Store Set in Van Nuys. We can shoot your Demo Reel there!
If you would like another location, we will have to send a custom quote that involves renting another location.

The pricing is set by a number of different factors:
– Location
If we are shooting in our Liquor Store, that will be provided. However, if you’d like a different location, we will be renting out another set location, the price will fluctuate. We don’t want to make just an average demo reel, we want to make a cinematic one with high production value!
(Which can also mean rented wardrobe, depending on the location.)
– Equipment
We will be recording on a professional cinema camera! A Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro G2 (which shoots amazing 4.6k RAW Footage)
– On Set Recording
We will be recording multiple takes for the alotted time. Getting a few medium shots and then a few closeup shots. (Around 1 hour of shoot time. We will be moving the camera around and getting the reverse angles for 2 person scenes.)
– Post Production
We will be color grading your clips to look as cinematic as possible. We will also be applying noise reduction and EQ on your audio files and editing the scene together for you. If you would like to edit the scene yourself, you can add on the “RAW Footage” option during checkout!
– File Delivery
Around 1 week after your shoot, you will receive a link to your edited scene. As well as your RAW Footage if that was purchased. If so, these will be full resolution with color grading and audio synced. (3840 x 2160 in .MP4 file)
Demo Reels Are A HUGE Deal!
Especially on Actors Access. If you have a Demo Reel attached, as well as a Slateshot, you will be bumped up to the top of the Casting Director’s list. That makes a HUGE difference when CD are receiving thousands of submissions!
In today’s world, 99% of the first round of auditions actors receive are now virtual! Meaning demo reels are more important now, than ever before!
