🎬 The showreel reality check that changed everything for me...
I used to think posting my first showreel everywhere was the power move. Turns out, I was dead wrong.
Here's what actually works (learned this from some industry vets):
Once your skills are solid and repeatable, definitely create that showreel. But here's the game-changer - before you blast it on social media, share it privately with someone experienced in the industry first.
I know it's intimidating to ask for feedback, but getting honest criticism from a mentor is pure gold. They'll spot things you missed and help you avoid those cringe moments we've all had.
Whether you're in stunts, acting, or behind the camera - this applies to everyone building their reel.
It's so much better to fail small with guidance than to fail big all alone.
