I’ve been using Doug to do my demo-reels since we had to bring tapes in, 3/4 tapes even, not to date myself. He’s a pro, has a great eye, and will give you as much or as little help as you need. Plus he has excellent rates and will never gouge you. I highly recommend using Astral to get a great demo-reel!

Laura MennellDoug has been a colleague and friend for 23 years and we have collaborated and put together many Demo reels together. He is an extremely talented editor, has a great sense of how to make your reel pop and is very honest and dependable. Whether I’m in Vancouver or Los Angeles, he can make changes or construct something specific for each demo request. I have definitely seen how he has evolved with technology ( No more VHS ) and casting industry standards and have many times been hired and complimented on the reel he has assembled for me. Many actors and agents can thank Doug and Astral Video for helping them land the offer!
Cameron Bancroft, UBCP/Actra-SAG/AFTRAA whole bunch of my clients have reels expertly made and edited by Doug Fee at Astral Digital Video, their demos are ALL brilliant. The actor’s reel is the new picture & resume, practically required by Casting Directors and Producers. Some clients have even booked jobs -- direct offers -- based on their demo reel alone, with no audition! I highly recommend Doug. He’s a pro I’ve come to rely on.

He's the best of the best, and I know I can count on his surgeon's precision and creative ideas, not to mention his great sense of humour :) Even with somewhat difficult to edit clips, he always finds a solution and makes it work even better than I imagined. I am picky with details and not only is he patient but he consistently delivers above and beyond. I will continue to recommend him to any actor who needs a reel - you will be so glad you went to Doug!

Caroline CaveI can’t say enough about how great it was working with Doug. I gave him a general sense of what I was looking for in terms of the “arc” of my scenes and, within a week, I had a polished reel that I could proudly submit to casting directors. Doug was wonderfully responsive with any feedback/changes I requested and I still don’t know how he magically found all my clips so easily. Friendly, prompt, and professional!
