Estevan at VANREY Cinema did an exceptional job on a real estate video for me. As a Los Angeles…read morereal estate agent, I care a lot about how a home is presented, and I couldn't have been happier with the final product. He created something that truly felt like a short film. Beautiful work, and something I was proud to put my name behind. He also made the whole experience easy. He showed up on time, was a pleasure to work with, and delivered the finished video ahead of schedule. That combination of creative talent and reliability goes a long way in my business. If you're looking for a real estate videographer or cinematographer in Los Angeles, I wholeheartedly recommend Estevan. I'd happily work with him again and send anyone asking for a recommendation his way.

Totally smart about the way they tackle a project, they really seem to know what's vital to the lushness of music videos and film, coming in on or under budget without feeling that we've skimped on any of it. I've seen them work as mentors to up and coming filmmakers and they're totally dedicated to helping newcomers understand the craft, growing their expression and creativity as artists in-tandem. Such training is, in my opinion, indispensable. Thank goodness they're in LA!

His review and advice on my reel footage provided insight that not only echoed the response of a couple trusted industry professionals, but made points I had not considered or heard before, but seemed like obvious adjustments to consider once they were pointed out. In my opinion, professionals who know how to do their job but lack care and passion are far too plenty in this town. To be at the top of your game, love what you do, and care deeply about helping others through your gifts is a rare combo. This is what I found in my experience with Daniel. Highly, highly recommend if you are looking to create a reel or are seeking guidance on your existing footage.

A word of warning to my fellow filmmakers! Totally wasted…read moretime and efforts! Absent and misleading communications! Had one of the worst experiences in past month with Dream Reach Media, company of Daniel Brea. Received an e-mail from Daniel with words: "We have a thriving channel with thousands of views per day and we're finally opening it up to projects outside of our own". In the follow up form was stated that "If your project qualifies we will contact you to discuss the licensing terms." Even before had mixed reviews from my fellow film creators about Dream Reach, but decided to judge by myself, not words of others. Being currently in talks with couple platforms willing to license recent film, my team decided to reach out to Daniel's company and look out what is it. No direct answers were provided to my e-mails about what is this channel and where can I look at it, and what is this "licensing terms"? Instead I was constantly referred to book so called "Filmmaker to Producer Chat". Even after phrase "Here's the link to our channel" provided link was to the same booking website. At this point it looked already slightly suspicious and as a waste of time, as usually such as my questions on other platforms can be answered in couple short e-mails. But my team decided to go whole way. Booking was just a continuous mess. Booking system not allowing to select more, that 3 days ahead. Only available time of my team was coming next week, in 7 days. Followed a whole bunch of e-mails back-and-forth, with "please try this link" again and again - and nothing was changing, as system was not allowing to book more, than 3 days ahead. E-mailing was another addition to poorly organized process - instead of reply to older e-mail under one subject as conversation, each new message from Dream Reach team would come as a new e-mail, forcing to go back and forth through bunch of messages. Took a week of such exchanging messages to book what supposed to be just 1hr call. At last, it looked like we settled with person "MAAX" from Daniel's team on "I'll manually arrange your booking for Tuesday, Oct 17, between 10 am - 12 noon. I'll confirm shortly." Have we moved somewhere? Not a chance with Dream Reach. Coming Monday, no new messages. On inquiry is there a booking for tomorrow - "Please try booking an appointment again via this link". At this moment it starts looking like one of those scam-schemes spread over web, which just trying to get money, without providing anything or doing a simple thing. Ok, book manually for tomorrow for said time. Received a whole bunch of messages confirming said booking and link to lenghty video of Daniel himself, where he states that he "value your time!". As it turns out - that statement was simple lie. Coming Tuesday. Automated e-mails keep coming. "Your appointment is starting in approximately 1 hour." "Your appointment is starting in approximately 10 minutes". So, do I have at last some kind of meaningful communication? 10 am. Nothing. Ok, I usually let people be late 15 min, everything can happen in this life. 10.30 am. Nada. 11.00 am. Nope. 11.30 am. Send an e-mail, trying to clarify. Was it canceled? Rescheduled? Some emergency? 0 answers. No apologies, or any kind of communication followed in next two days. So, what we have in the end? Misleading advertisement e-mails - at this point I doubt that  "The channel is part of our Dream Reach Media community" exists at all, or that they do any kind of "licensing". Blatant lies that "we value your time". My team wasted week on e-mails and I lost 1 hour waiting for booked and confirmed call. Lack of simple professional ethics - if you schedule meeting or call - you follow it up. If you can not do it - you reach out before, or after. If you can not help this person in any way or do any kind of mutual business - again, you reach before, apologies and explanation. It looks like it is easier to reach Moon by yourself, than anything at all with Dream Reach Media under Daniel Brea.

What begins as an international threat ultimately becomes a deeply personal struggle for Joseph Markham, a CIA scientist fighting not only to expose a devastating plan but also to save the woman he loves. Richard Ryan deserves recognition for the enormous undertaking of starring in, directing, and producing a feature film of this scale. He brings determination and vulnerability to the lead role, while Jackie Nova delivers a committed performance that helps give the story its emotional weight. I also appreciated the film's locations, fight choreography, visual ambition, and willingness to tackle a story with genuinely high stakes. It is clear that Art of Deception was a passion project created through tremendous perseverance and hard work.

My experience with JIG Reel Studios became much bigger than just getting footage for my acting…read morereel. One of the biggest things Justin teaches is that acting is not only an art -- it's a business. He pushed me to think beyond simply auditioning and hoping someone gives me an opportunity. I learned how to approach my materials, representation, networking, and career with much more intention. And the results speak for themselves: during my mentorship, I started seriously submitting for representation, took meetings, and I GOT SIGNED! That was a huge milestone for me and something I'm extremely proud of. I also took another major step in my career by producing and acting in my own short film. Justin constantly encouraged me to stop waiting for permission and start creating my own opportunities, and that mindset completely changed the way I approach this industry. If you're willing to put in the work, ask questions, and actually apply what you're learning, there is so much you can take away from JIG. I came in wanting a stronger reel and walked away with a better understanding of the business, my own short film, representation, and a completely different mindset about my career. I'm incredibly grateful for Justin, the mentorship, and the growth that came from my time at JIG Reel Studios. Thank You! MW

You can tell he's an actor as well because he really took the time to discuss our characters and the scene with us before we filmed so we could make strong choices and breathe so much life into our short scene. The set, lights, sound, and camera was of the highest quality. Everyone on set was very talented and the team worked really well together! Thank you to Newton, Kenzo, Shaina, Carter, Veronica, and Justin! Definitely recommend JIG to all actors who are looking for professionally filmed clips for their demo reels!
