I am casting a project that requires actors – like a commercial, short film, feature film, voiceover, music video, or photo shoot. Can you help me?

Yes! We have handled many actor castings – including all of the above. We have the capability to handle actor casting via self tape, live zoom sessions, or via live in-person sessions. Or if your team already has an idea of an actor you want to offer a part to, we can help you handle direct offers as well!

I am casting a project that requires street casting or street scouting – can you help me?

Yes – we love finding fresh faces! We have cast many projects via street scouting and street casting. In addition, we have a database of thousands of real people – many of whom have come from years of street casting for various projects. Some unique specs we have found through street casting include: old school chess players in Brooklyn, barbershop owners, gen z college students with great style, die-hard mets fans, double-dutch girls.

I am producing a project that will require international or national talent. Is that something you can help me with?

Our team has worked on many national and international castings. We are a team of researchers who can handle hard to cast international castings for both real people and actors.  We also have talent agency contacts around the globe. We have found talent in countries as far away as Egypt, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, etc. as well as locally across all 50 states. Note that we are not a paymaster – so all payment and contracting would be handled by your team once the talent is booked.

I am producing a project that will require a live session, a callback, or an in-person session. Is that something you can help me with?

Yes – we have a number of ways we can handle live sessions and callbacks. We can handle in-studio sessions in NYC with capability for clients to join via ZOOM or in person. For national castings, we can run ZOOM callbacks or ZOOM sessions, or travel if the budget permits.

I am a producer or director bidding on a project but haven’t yet gotten approval. Are you able to help me figure out what I should bid for casting costs and talent payment on a project that requires real people casting or actor casting?

Yes – we are more than happy to be your collaborator on budgeting out a project for your bid as long as we can work with you on it once you get approval! Feel free to email us and share the details of the project and we will do our best to help you. 

Are you a talent agent? Would you be paid +10% on the talent rates I have budgeted to pay talent?

We are a casting office – not a talent agency. We do not directly represent talent. We handle full castings from start to finish – so when you work with us you will not need to put the breakdown to any other sources to source talent. We collect submissions from talent agencies for projects that require actors, and/or submissions from real people talent found via our extensive database, casting research, street casting, and outreach. We present an entire cohesive casting to you on one easy link. When we work on a casting, we agree to a casting budget prior to beginning the job.

I am an actor or non-actor who wants to be considered for projects! Can you be my agent? Should I email you my information?

If you are interested in being considered for our projects, please add yourself to our database by filling out THIS FORM. We are not a talent agency and we do not represent talent. This form simply opts you in to receiving casting notices for projects that we have been directly hired to cast. Talent who is booked on one of our projects does NOT owe us any money from their payment as we are paid an overall casting budget by the production company. Please use the link above rather than emailing us any of your materials.
