The cast can make or break a movie

Having a great script is one thing but finding the right actors to portray the characters is just as important. A miscast role can ruin a character and, in turn, affect the success of the movie. Casting the right talent for a role requires plenty of planning, choice, critical analysis, and a little bit of luck!

Casting calls

Let the world of performers know you’re looking for new roles with a casting call. Detail your requirements and sit back as the talent presents itself. With plenty of potential actors, the right ones for your roles could be next through the virtual door!

Vision is key

Understanding your characters is key to casting the right actors. Give potential talent something to work with - backstories, appearances, personalities, and rough scripts help actors to embody the role - even if it’s very basic.

Casting is as much about highlighting wrong actors for the role as well as the rights ones.
