A clear casting process

Each production is different, but the decision path stays simple and documented.

1

Review the brief

We review the role, visual direction, location, dates, usage, and practical requirements.

2

Run a focused search

The team identifies relevant profiles and checks the information required for the brief.

3

Shortlist and confirm

Suitable options are shared for review, followed by availability checks and booking coordination.

This page is currently for client casting requests. A dedicated public registration path for Extras will be added when that talent category is available.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an extra and an acting role?

An extra supports the background of a scene. A speaking, featured, or performance-led role normally requires a different casting brief.

Can clients request one person or a group?

Yes. A request can cover an individual background role or a group, depending on the scene.

What details are needed?

Include the count, visual mix, location, date, call time, duration, wardrobe or access notes, usage, and budget range.

Can extras register through this page?

Not yet. This page is focused on client requests until a dedicated Extras registration category is available.
