Fightreels
In the same way a Showreel showcases an Actor's performance ability, so does a Fightreel. An actor with skills in Performance (Theatrical) Combat will need to demonstrate them for casting in certain roles. A Good Fightreel can help a performer gain a role; so taking care to highlight their best abilities is a must...
...and we shall provide!

Fight reels - The Short Film
We are currently taking Bookings for our next Fightreel Short Film event - Book with us to secure your own bespoke reel on the Summer Course!
What is the Fight Reel Short Film?
An entirely new way of working on fight reels!
Our Fight reels are 1 minute reels in a chosen weapon, with two protagonists. In the Short film event, we write a fifteen minute short film, working to the strengths of the cast, with up to ten participants. Each will have an equal role and their own fights within the film, which serves several purposes; Footage that can be broken down into a fight reel, and a credit in a short film at the same time, which will be submitted to Film Festivals. The participants receive their reels, but with the addition of having an actual film to have created as well.
What will I receive?
- A minimum of two focused fight scenes
- A credit in the film as a named character.
- Speaking roles which can be used for showreels as well.
- The film will be submitted for festivals in (where possible) the action category at least.
- The option to have the scenes edited into a bespoke fight reel.
- Choreographed by Fight Directors.
- Filmed & Directed by Working DOPs & Directors.
- Fully Costumed.
- Tutoring and experience on set with a dedicated professional team.
- Scenes that tell a story, and sell you!
