As a seasoned film producer, prior to hiring any actors or actresses, we watch countless demo reels. This allows us to determine if they are a good fit for a particular role, and whether or not we want to bring them in for an audition. Regarding directors, as a film producer, I watch their demo reel to view their style, tone, and pacing. I’m looking to see if they can direct actors and if their demo reel is diverse. I’m checking to see if it’s exciting and, ultimately, how they move the camera. Thus, we watch demo reels for anyone who is creative in the business as a way to weed out people.
