Narrative-led production for screen and brand.

I really enjoyed working with Damien and 88 to 1 Productions on their recent Sydney showreel shoots. It was my first experience on a professional film set and I felt very comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. I learnt a lot about how scenes were filmed and further developed my understanding of how to breakdown and approach a script. It was a very collaborative process and I feel like I have improved in my technique and increased my knowledge of screen acting. I was really happy with the final scene and hope to work with the team again soon!

Working with Damien and 88 to 1 Productions to film scenes for my showreel was a great experience. Damien helped me choose scenes that suited me and came to the shoot very well prepared. As a director, he took the time to break down the scenes and give clear direction throughout and the process never felt rushed. The equipment and overall setup were very professional and there was a real focus on making the scenes feel authentic. There was also genuine care for both me and my scene partner, and a clear commitment to producing the best possible result.

88 to 1 Productions meaningfully shaped my understanding of being an emerging actor. I learned invaluable on-set techniques, approaches to characterisation, and processes of collaboration that would make any performer envious. Damien Giglietta is an innovative director who shapes sensitive and powerful Australian work. Being directed by Damien meant having access to a process of experimentation and curiosity that I haven't experienced anywhere else in the industry. If I could recommend any set to be professionally engaged with, there would be no question that it would be one crafted by Damien and his team.

I had the best time working with 88 to 1 productions! Damien was super hands on throughout the whole process, from helping me choose a script, to directing on the day and organising a post shoot debrief to discuss how best to use my scenes. He ensured that my reel was high quality from beginning to end. I felt like I was heard and supported in what I was looking for, which allowed us to collaborate and produce work that best showcased me as a performer. I could not be more happy with how my scenes turned out. I would 100% recommend 88 to 1 productions if you want to work with a great group of people and have your reel stand out!

Damien's direction is the kind that every actor hopes for in a director. His feedback guides the actor's character objectives and relationship dynamics in a way that is so tangible and easily applicable for the client. His wisdom and skill makes the actor's talent translate wonderfully into the showreel. I would 100% recommend for anyone wanting to build their acting profile!!

88 to 1 Productions delivers exceptional quality showreels that elevate an actor's craft. At the heart of the company is director Damien Giglietta, who is an actor's director. I love working with Damien! He possesses the ability to speak an actor's language, drawing out layered, authentic performances and shaping scenes with precision. Damien's direction is intuitive and collaborative, ensuring every beat of your showreel showcases your strongest work. The production quality is high end, and the experience on set is professional and creative. For actors serious about their careers, 88 to 1 is a standout choice.

Damien and his team were knowledgeable and knew how to get the best out of me. When I shot my reel with them, I felt confident to put my best foot forward and Damien's directions were clear and concise. My reel turned out great, so much so that it secured me an agent here in Canada which meant I could already start auditioning for roles as soon as I arrived. If you'd like a reel that'll get you to the next level in your career, then look no further than 88 to 1 Productions.

I can't recommend 88 to 1 Productions highly enough. They create a professional, supportive environment where you feel immediately at ease and able to do your best work. Damien and the team bring a wealth of industry knowledge and are generous in sharing it throughout the process. If you're looking to update your footage or want personalised guidance for your career, I would strongly encourage you to get in touch.

I've been getting showreels made through 88 to 1 for over ten years and they always deliver. Not just technically but performance wise too. Damien has a way of simplifying scenes and getting the best out of you as a performer. I can't recommend their services enough.
