What Our Clients Think About Us
PATRICK COX
"I wish I had found Demi sooner. She doesn't just point a camera at you and say words. She has the chops to engage with you in the scene and insight to bring out aspects of your performance you weren't aware you had in you. I have never and would never trust anyone else with my self-tapes.”
(THE YOUNG ROCK [booked with Demi], PAM & TOMMY [booked at Stella], TWO BROKE GIRLS, Aquaman)
KIMMY SHIELDS
"Stella Self Tape is phenomenal! The space is beautiful, parking is a breeze, and they give SUCH efficient feedback. I feel really confident filming my tapes there. They take time to make sure they hit all the right beats and nail all technical aspects like eye lines. I highly recommend this studio.”
(INSATIABLE, BIG LITTLE LIES, Girlboss, SO HELP ME TODD [booked at Stella], ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT)
JULIO CESAR RUIZ
"I went to Demitra to self-tape when I got the biggest audition and acting role of my career. Her detail as a reader, coach, and actor is so specific and helpful, that she made it easy for me to dive right into my character and scene. Bar none she is the best I've ever worked with and have only worked with since. With her guidance and expertise, she helped me book the biggest role of my career (The Suicide Squad) off that tape. I trust her to always help me deliver an honest performance and overcome any mental blocks."
(The Suicide Squad [booked with Demi], MAYANS [booked at Stella], BLUE BLOODS [booked at Stella], PREACHER, S.W.A.T)
