"From the first moment I sat down with Joe and watched him meticulously piece together footage for my reel, I knew I was witnessing something incredibly authentic. The success that has come from investing in his efforts has been beyond anything I could imagine. The result for me has been a reel that has not only garnered sincere praise by casting directors but, more importantly, it’s gotten me consistent work over the last two and a half years. I attribute nearly all of my success with getting my foot in the door to the fact that I’ve had a polished example of my work to present to industry professionals, everyone from my manager and agent to casting directors and producers. Our devotion as actors is to allow our performances in front of the camera to be honest and committed. Joe’s devotion as a filmmaker is to take those performances and craft a reel highlighting the strongest moments. Joe has sacrificed nothing when it comes to quality, professionalism, and follow-through in all of the work he’s done for me. I’m extremely confident in saying that he’ll do the same for you."

"Joe Burke's been a long time friend, I've collaborated with him on many films, and it was only right that I came to him to make my acting reel. Just starting out with my career I did not have much footage to begin with, but Joe was able to take the little footage I did have and cut it in to a strong showcase reel that ultimately helped me sign with my first agent."

"Joe Burke is the go-to guy for reels. Never has getting a reel been so easy and unstressful, quite the contrast to this crazy industry. He is quick to respond, easy to work with, open to ideas, and willing to try anything in order to assure you are as happy as can be with your reel. I highly recommend Joe to anyone who needs to put any footage together. Joe delivers above and beyond."

He has such an artistic eye, and with his excellent background in filmmaking, I knew that my reel was in great hands. He is extremely professional and easy to work with. Always on top of things, I was given links to view my working reel in progress. Joe was always open to my input and suggestions, making sure I was completely satisfied with the finished product. I recommend Joe to anyone who is looking to put together a first time reel or improve a reel they already have. This guy knows what he is doing and I am excited to see him go places."

KRISTOPHER KAUFMAN Acting Reel 2009
"I’m thrilled I let Joe get his hands on my footage and create my acting reel. His experiences as a writer, director, actor and filmmaker have given him a great eye for storytelling. He took the small amount of footage I had and created an authentic, professional reel. If anyone is seeking a talented, prompt, and receptive collaborator - they should talk to Joe Burke."

"Anyone with a decent computer can paste together a reel. It takes a rare professional like Joe Burke to highlight the essence of a performer and show them to best advantage. For most, the purpose of any reel is to get work and open new doors. I'm thrilled to say that I've just signed with a new management team, and it was this reel that made the decision-makers take notice. A positive outcome to say the least. Thank you, Joe."

"I stumbled onto Joe through friend Kristin Broadwell after seeing her recent demo reel which was put together by Joe. I've been looking for an expert to update my reel with the addition of four films and I'm very happy with the results. As I live in the Chicago area, Joe and I did all of our collaboration on the reel via email. I picked Joe because we hit it off on the early email exchanges, I could tell he was easy to work with, I likes the demo reel examples he had, he is technically savvy, and he is a Director. Thanks Joe. I can't wait to get this new demo reel out there to sell my services."

"I'd highly recommend Joe Burke, and look forward to working with him again as I get better footage over time. Joe was highly collaborative, responsive, and willing to try alternate takes until I was 100% satisfied. He offered constructive opinions (very diplomatically), and I appreciated his strong creative vision/experience as a director, actor, and editor. He's an excellent technical editor; he improved the quality of some scenes, and his cuts were great (including a fun montage at the end). He worked fast, but clearly invested a lot of time in the reel, and I feel like I got tremendous value for my investment. I'm very happy with the reel, and I'm confident it will be a great marketing tool. Thanks, Joe."
