Welcome to ABJ Productions. A professional production resource that produces all types of projects — from short independent films to locally produced webisodes. We also provide career enhancement tools for performing artists. It is becoming very commonplace for actors and actresses to have more control over their own careers. Collaborating with media producers allows them the opportunity to promote their talents and guide their careers.
WEBISODES: A webisode is a short episode which airs initially as Internet television, either download or stream as opposed to airing on broadcast or cable television. The format can be used as a preview, a promotion, or as part of a collection of shorts. The Adventures of Little Samantha is the first successful webisode produced by ABJ Productions. Watch webisodes of Samantha under video/audio.
INDEPENDENT SHORT FILMS: The increased demand for Independent Films is due to its diversity and unique quality. Independent films have become an art form that functions as an instrument to introduce creative filmmakers to mainstream cinema producers. In the United States, independent film and video producers have found a new audience via the internet. ABJ Productions offers local actors the opportunity to experience working in low budget films and projects. Watch Independent Films and shorts under video/audio.
TALENT REEL: Going to Film and TV auditions becomes a routine for performers and producers. Standing out above the rest of the talent pool should be the goal of every artist. We produce Talent Reels for Actresses, Actors, Directors, Singers, Dancers; basically any artists that wishes to capture their talents on film/video. With a Talent Reel DVD, the artist becomes empowered by being able to leave a reel of their talent after their audition. Watch Acting Reels under video/audio.
AUDIO DEMO: For the artist that wants to venture into the entertaining world of Voice-over, Audio Books or singing opportunities; an Audio Demo is an important tool to have. An Audio Demo is a way for a gifted voice talent to approximate their ideas on tape or disc, and provide an example of those ideas to producers or other clients. Your Audio Demo can be comprised with audio from other voice-over jobs, or we can create one custom-made for your vocal talent. Listen to Audio Reels under video/audio.
ACTING COACH OR CLASS: ABJ Productions prepares actors and actresses for their upcoming audition. Conducted by working professional actors, Acting Coaching provides direction for your monologue or scene, assistance in selecting audition material, vocal and pronunciation guidance and professional presentation skills. If you want ongoing lessons in Acting, we can schedule regular sessions and assist you in becoming a superior performer.
