“Dan’s talent as an editor is unsurpassed. He took my footage and not only created a reel that markets myself perfectly, he also took footage and scenes I thought were weak and reedited them to make them shine. Now I not only have a killer reel but salvaged footage that I am proud for any industry to see” -Alberto Bonilla

“Dan has cut two of my clients reels. I could not be more pleased with his professionalism, ingenuity and speed in which he worked. It’s been an absolute joy talking to an editor who was able to take a great deal of disparate footage and create a seamless calling card for both my clients. I could not recommend him more. I’ll be bringing him more clients!” – Bernard F Bunye – Intrepid Talent Management

I highly recommend Ox Productions to any actor looking to put their footage into very capable hands.”- Laurena Barros

“Dan at OX Productions went above and beyond in assuring that I got the absolute most out of the footage I provided him. Not only did he arrange and edit an initial rough cut of my demo to build on but he was extremely helpful and compassionate to the preferences that I had going forward. Dan fine tuned my reel specifically to what I had envisioned. I am excited and confident to now have a demo reel that truly represents my work as an actor.” -Louis Crugnali-writer/actor

Click HERE to see what we did.
“It wasn’t easy finding a trustworthy person to make my reel. I went with Ox Productions based on the quality of work on their website. I was not disappointed. Dan of Ox Productions was so great to work with. He was professional, fast and a wonderful collaborator. From the very beginning, he made it clear his goal was to make a reel I could be proud of. He was open to thoughts and also had a lot to offer from his own expertise. And finally, my reel looks awesome! Definitely go with Ox Productions for a professional, standout reel.” – Liz Eggers
Karen Pittman
Karen came to us as she was heading over to LA to make the next step in her career. All of her clips were great but they needed to be edited down for time for the purpose of the reel. She really wanted her reel to get to the point and show all aspects of her talents quickly due to casting directors short attention spans. Two scenes need serious re-editing to make her the main focus of the scene. We were able to communicate and go over the footage by sending quicktime movies of her reel via email. The end result is a very strong reel that will surely open more doors.
“The best part about working with Dan from Ox Productions is that he is a great collaborator! He looks for the best in your work and then also, looks to support your vision with his great skill. Everyone on my team is excited about the work he did, and that kind of energy just inspires more work in me and the people around me. Thanks a lot, Dan. I’m a fan! ”
-Karen Pittman
Ryan came to Ox Productions with a lot of fun scenes that were well acted and shot but they all needed to be re-edited to focus more on him.

“I am grateful to have used Ox Productions for my reel! As an actor with a hectic work schedule, it was comforting to not worry and have all the work done for me. With minimal direction as far as my vision for my reel, the end product was exactly what I wanted. I needed to trust Ox Productions with representing my career. I trusted that work completely. ”
-Ryan Preimesberger
Brian came to us from Boston. We never actually met he sent me the footage and we talked on the phone and communicated through email.
He had a lot of scenes that needed to be re-edited to really focus on him. Click HERE to see what we did.
“I just did my first acting reel with OX Productions. My experience was an incredibly positive one. Having no previous experience in putting a reel together, I relied heavily on their knowledge and expertise. OX Productions did not disappoint! They took the time to explain every step of the process and answer all of my questions. The result is better than I could have possibly hoped for. I will recommend OX Productions to every actor I know. Thank you!” – Brian O’Hara
Clem McIntosh
Clem had interesting footage that was both dramatic and comedic some of which were slow moving but good scenes. We were able pick up the pace while still keeping the original pacing of each clip. Click HERE to see what we did.

Esodie came to us with a buch of great footage that needed to be shaped. Mostly she needed her scenes to cut out other actors and feature her more prominently. Click HERE to see what we did.
Love it! Compliments all around from my family! – Esodie Geiger
Chaz Mena
In this reel our client, Chaz Mena, needed to have a speed reel put together. Chaz had a lot of great footage but needed it to be under 3 min.
Looking at Chaz Mena’s footage, it was all great stuff and it was so diverse that we decided it wouldn’t do Chaz justice if we didn’t try to fit it all in. Therefore, we re-cut and trimmed every scene (some examples can be seen HERE) so that there was just enough time to establish Chaz’s talents. The end result is a solid representation of Chaz’s versatility that leaves the audience wanting to see more and, even more so, wanting to see Chaz in their casting office.
Jessica Myhr
In this reel our client, Jessica Myhr, needed a very short reel under 2 minutes to put on Actors Access. With 4 scenes totaling over 6 or 7 minutes, we we had to do some serious reediting while still not losing the essence of each scene. Click HERE to view examples of her reedited scenes.
DeQuina Moore
DeQuina is another strong actress who had a lot of footage but a lot of the scenes were too long for the purpose of the reel. Her management asked us to keep the focus on DeQuina in the scenes as much as possible as well. Click HERE to see how we did it.
“Thank you so much! I can’t believe how you redid my scenes….it’s incredible! -DeQuina Moore
Nick Bagetta
Nick is a young actor starting out who and came to us with three clips, one of which needed some serious overhauling. Go HERE to see the transformation.
“After being shown the website and hearing the way Ox Productions works, I knew I had come to the right place.
After seeing what they did with my reel between editing the scenes and focusing them more on me and re-dubbing crappy audio,
my new reel looks great and I am very pleased. Definitely have Ox Productions do your reel.”-Nick Baggetta
Donna Cooper
With Donna Cooper’s reel each clip had strong performances. Aside from one or two clips that needed serious re-editing the rest of the clips looked good. However, as we looked through it we were able to find little ways to trim the other scenes. This resulted in seven plus minutes of great material trimmed down to under 5 minutes. Click HERE to see the before and after of each scene.
“The revised reel is perfect! I know casting directors will love it! Thank you so much!” -Donna Cooper
Caudia Brown
Claudia Brown’s reel was sort of a tough one. Claudia really wanted to showcase her vixen persona. She came to us with a bunch of clips where her characters had very little screen time and also some raw green screen footage. What was great was she had a strong vision of what she wanted so that was helpful. Basically we did some magic on this one and now Claudia really has a genuine reel to market herself exactly the way she wants. Click HERE to see the before and after.
“I LOVE this reel! I can’t thank you enough for this amazing reel!!” – Claudia Brown
Duanne Buotte
Duanne needed his reel done right away due to a presentation he was doing at a University. Most of the scenes needed serious re-editing, but the end result was that his presentation was a success and he booked a job as a teacher at the University. Click HERE to see the before and after of Duanne’s scenes.
Poppy Cerqueira
Poppy really wanted to market herself as a sexy funny woman. Trouble was some of the footage she had wasn’t high production value and the footage of her character wasn’t prominently displayed. With some creative thinking we were able to solve both problems. Now she’s got a quick fun reel with good production value. Click HERE to see the before and after.
Celeste Moratti
Celeste was great to work with because she really knew what she wanted in each reel. This gave us more time to edit down some scenes which allowed the reels to really flow. There was one scene in particular that was really slow for the purpose of the reel. To see how we reedited it click HERE
