About
Reel Staffing Solutions
At Reel Staffing Solutions, we're more than just a staffing agency--we're a bridge between talent and opportunity, between production demands and people who know how to deliver. Whether you're a seasoned line producer in need of 20 extras tomorrow or someone who just wants to get their foot in the door of the film and television industry, you've come to the right place.
​
We specialize in on-set staffing for film, television, commercials, print, reenactments, and more. From makeup artist and production assistants to extras, caterers, drivers, security, and beyond--we know how to pull the right crew together, fast. And we do it with a style that is different: flexible, respectful and real.
​
Reel Staffing Solutions was built out of a simple need: people behind the scenes weren't being seen. So many production teams struggled to find reliable crew members, and so many talented, hardworking individuals were eager to be part of the action but didn't know where to start.
​
We saw the gap. And we stepped in.
​
With years of on-set experience ourselves-and a deep respect for what goes on behind the camera, we created a space that connects the dots. We've staffed productions across Canada, including major titles, a wide range of commercials, reenactments, music videos and corporate shoots. Whether it's a set with strict call times, or a guerrilla-style indie shoot with a skeleton crew, we understand the unique rhythms and expectations of set life.

Why do I need representation?Having representation can significantly improve your chances of getting consistent work in the film industry. Here's why: 1.Many film productions, TV shows and commercials work directly with agencies rather than posting open job listings. Without representation, you might miss out on high-paying exclusive roles. 2.A staffing agency like Reel Staffing Solutions matches you with available roles so you don't have to teach for jobs on your own. Instead of constantly applying and networking, your agency does the work for you. 3.Agencies ensure that you are paid fairly and ON TIME. They handle the contract and negotiant and protect you from bad deals or shady productions.

What qualifications do I need to apply for jobs through Reel Staffing?At Reel Staffing, we offer a variety of job opportunities, each with its own set of qualifications. Some positions may require specific experience and training, such as technical roles or those in specialized fields. However, we also have roles that require little to no prior experience, such as working as a film extra. Our goal is to match your skills and experience with the right job. Detailed requirements for each position are listed in the job descriptions on our website. If you’re unsure about the qualifications needed, our team is always available to assist you in understanding the best fit for your background and career aspirations.
-
How often can I expect to work as a film extra through, and is it suitable as a full-time job?At Reel Staffing, film extras typically work 1-2 times per month. This frequency can vary based on factors such as the availability of production shoots in your area and the accuracy and currency of your personal details. Due to the sporadic nature of assignments, working as a film extra should be viewed as a fun and occasional activity rather than a reliable full-time job. It's an excellent way to experience the film industry and supplement your income, but it is not intended to be your primary employment.

Can I apply if I have another job?Yes, many of our jobs are flexible, short-term, or project based, making them ideal for freelancers and part-time workers.
