My go-to guy for 15 years now is Chris bylsma at Breakthrough Reels! They help me ACQUIRE footage, EDIT it judiciously, and PRESENT me and my work in the best way possible. I cannot express how repeatedly I've learned that my reel has helped me generate interest or book a job. It pays off to have one, and to make sure it's catered to you. It is the audition that walks into the room before you do.
Chris is AMAZING! Professional, on-point, and super talented. I HIGHLY recommend Breakthrough Reels for ALL your demo needs. He'll get you right, and have your package looking top-notch!! You, like myself, will be very pleased and coming back for more work. Thanks again, BTR!
Going with Breakthrough Reels to create my first reel was the best decision I've made for my career. They took the time to hear my needs, offer sound advice, and go through every single detail. I am so pleased with the finished product and would recommend PTR's highly skilled, highly compentent, and exceptional customer-service-oriented services.
I really enjoyed the whole process! Thorough, easy to get along with, and BTR had great insight. I felt like I made the right choice from our very first phone call, and after seing the final product I KNEW I made the right choice. They're badass, and their notes are literlaly and figuratively MONEY.
Chris is an absolute professional! He is incredibly creative, and collaborating with him produced a product/experience that I am overly satisfied with. The icing on the cake is that Chris is responsive and proficient when it comes to timelines. THANK YOU BREAKTHROUGH REELS!!
So happy with the video portfolio Chris at Breakthrough Reels put together for me. My agent is over the moon to have so much great content put together in one place to promote me. Well worth the investment!
I have been doing this a long time and have worked with countless editors, and none have come close to this dream collaboration with Chris and BTR. From the first conversation to the agency he felt to be creative and give suggestions while always leaving the final decision to me.. I will definitely be using them again. Because I need it done right, and they are top-notch.
I used to do my own reels, but decided to see what BTR could do and am so glad I did. Not only do they have years of experience editing reels, but they have an eye for good work and can cut together an amazing reel. If you're looking for someone who knows their stuff and is easy to work with - then Chris of BTR is your guy.
Absolutely the BEST I've worked with so far! Chris was so helpful, understanding, and patient. I would definitely recommend using them for all your Reels! Very professional with a quick turnaround! Thank you!!!
I knew that when it was time for me to update my footage I would use BTR because everyone professional who was working went to them, and I knew I wanted to be of THAT caliber. Chris explains the process, has a great eye, and pays attention to detail to get you the best result you could ask for. I highly recommend using Breakthrough Reels!
