David Austin Veal's Reel

A songwriter struggles to find her voice in L.A. Alone, living out of her car, she happens upon a new friend who has it all together. Or does he? This is a story of friendship, support, and finding the strength inside you. It has some pretty good music too.

An acting clip written by Derek Westerman of JIG Reels Studio in 2022. I gave him my casting and the tone's I was hoping to achieve. He was wonderful to work with. Of the four scenes I had shot, this is one with the "Hallmark tone". Two married cafe owners are falling on hard times. She wants to sell the place, he wants to keep it. My scene partner is actor Mary Dallas. Image consultant Buckley Sampson. Grooming/hair & Makeup Monique Paredes (who also did some wonderful bts shots). Production, editing, sound JIG Reels Studio.

A short compilation of dramatic and comedic scenes.
