I have only been in one short film that will be shown next week and am trying to get more jobs. My question is, how many clips or films/shows Should I do before I make a Demo Reel?

start with one scene, get it out there right now, and simply add content as soon as new material is available to you!
Thank y'all for the advice and tips. They are really helpful
Eddie, if you still need help with your reel-let me know. I do that for other actors.
Hey everyone, I wanted to share my first demo reel for constructive criticism and feedback. I tried to give it a little personal touch but I want to make next year's demo much more powerful. Thanks in advance for your comments and looking forward to reading all of them! https://vimeo.com/102356461...

Not sure about TV director reels. Never seen them. A director reel is about storytelling, not acting or shooting- although those need to be appropriate and professional. A music video director's reel will have segments from mulitple MVs- maybe with their own music maybe all cut to one track. A montage reel for narrative work which is short must be backed by fuller reels. 4-6 minutes is still a viable reel length for 3 to 5 narrative clips.
Really nice work, Patrick. I side with Royce and Mark. While the visuals are nice, this feels to me like more of a DP reel. I'd like to see less scenes that show more. Get some narrative in there. That'll speak more to your voice as a director. Good luck!
The look is very nice - some great pics - like the music, too - but for a director´s showreel I would definitely include some dialogue and spoken scenes... Otherwise you can see the editing, the cinem...
