Out of the Box Studio- Lets Play

Established in 2011, OOTBS has quickly developed an international reputation for producing the highest quality self tapes in the industry. It's no wonder that OOTBS was asked to lead a panel on self tapes and self promotion at the ACTRA winter conference in February of 2012, where we screened "Build or Bust" a short film on the topic of "self taping" that OOTBS produced specifically for the ACTRA conference. Since then, our tapes have put actors on set and stage, and continue to impress big wig decision makers (directors/producers/agents/managers/casting directors/moms) from around the world, allowing OOTBS to be able to boast a high booking/ call back/ feedback ratio for our clients. Our actors work!

What makes our tapes so awesome?

With close attention to detail, we've taken the art of the self tape audition to a new level with a no BS, no gimmick, no boredom approach to putting your best work in front of our cameras. TADA!!! It's all about allowing the performers specific artistic choices to shine in the particular scene, and nothing else. YAAAAAY!!!

At OOTBS, we understand the needs of busy working actors and offer Toronto's only fully comprehensive "on call" studio that includes, a reader, coaching/direction, shooting, editing, and e pitch, for one low price. If you need it done, and need it done right, and let's face it, everyone needs it done yesterday, push the "book" button and lets "book" something.

-As actors, we work hard to ensure every performer is prepared to go in front of the camera and dish out their best, no matter the skill level, age, race, astrological sign, or sexual preference.

-As filmmakers we ensure that your best is captured with professional audio and video equipment and edited to compliment the piece, even if the piece itself is a piece of crap (this rarely happens) you'll still be amazing and probably get the part..

-As directors we may tickle your funny bone and ask you to vomit, and love it, even though you may hate it.

THAT is why OOTBS has become so highly regarded by talent agents and managers from across Canada and the US!
