Why you can’t afford
– especially in German-speaking countries –
not to curate your portfolio.
In Germany, an enormous amount of roles are filled directly from the production line, i.e. without prior casting.
Without a fun strategy for the future in the acting industry and hoping that, with a bit of luck, ability will prevail, this is not a concept, but rather aimless dreaming. Actively shape your path instead of passively waiting for someone to find you.
One aspect of this strategic path is to turn your portfolio into your personal wish list, rather than showing what you’ve shot in the past. The moment you know what you want and where your niche is, the projects, genres and filmmakers you should get in touch with will become clear.
If you say now: Stop! Showreel = wish list?
I want to know more about that right away! Then take the shortcut: Shoot a Sample. Otherwise, you can delve a little deeper into the art of strategic thinking here.
It’s worth thinking about,
what artistic ideas you want to inspire casting directors with! I have developed two concepts for battle plans, depending on where you are in your acting life:
No 1: "Brand it, baby!
The widespread concept of positioning yourself in such a way that you could be cast for anything and therefore, to be on the safe side, show EVERYTHING you’ve done so far is well-intentioned, but dilutes your brand! Primark vs Boutique.
What you need is a selection that specializes in your uniqueness so that you can be remembered!
Or in Austin Kleon’s words: “It’s not enough to be good. In order to be found, you have to be findable.”
THIS COURSE IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF
💥 you have the clear goal of gaining a foothold in the industry, but you don’t have a strategy on how to achieve this in a targeted and sustainable way.
💥 you are looking for a roadmap to pitch yourself to casting directors and agencies so that they are interested in you.
💥 you’re tired of feeling powerless because you can’t follow a plan apart from waiting.
💥 you finally want to know how to curate your profiles (Filmmakers etc) so that the right people can find you.
💥 you want to know what your USP is and how you can make it visible.
💥 you feel like thinking out of the box.
Battle plan I: Brand it, baby!
