Join us for a hands-on masterclass dedicated to refining your demo reel!

What is a demo reel? It is a short video that shows potential employers or collaborators the best examples of your work. Employers or collaborators could include agents, casting directors, producers, editors, directors, clients, and other entertainment industry professionals.

Whether you're just starting and need guidance on where to begin or looking to enhance an existing reel, facilitators and NU alumni Grace Hahn and Troy Lewis will provide valuable insights on best practices across media disciplines. 

The masterclass will also feature a student Q&A and ‘open work’ time, offering attendees the opportunity to receive real-time feedback on their reels. A complimentary lunch will follow the session—come ready to learn, create, and refine your work!
