For talent, and for casting

Why it is invitation only

An open submission inbox gets thousands of tapes and reads a few dozen. Everyone loses: talent waits in silence, casting drowns, and the tapes worth watching sit at the bottom. A referral code fixes the arithmetic. Fewer tapes, every one vouched, every one read.

If you are talent

Four minutes, then it is read

01

Get a code

Codes come from casting directors, producers on a show, and roster members who each get two to pass on. We do not sell them and there is no waiting list to join.

02

Open an account

Name that goes on a contract, where you are based, what you play, union status. That is what sits beside your tape when somebody watches it.

03

Paste a link

Host the tape yourself, unlisted, on Vimeo, YouTube, Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer or Frame.io. No uploads. Your file stays where you control it and you can pull it any time.

04

Get an answer

Advance, hold or pass, inside five business days, with a line back. You see it in your account. Silence is not one of the options.

If you are casting

One queue, already sorted

01

Issue codes, not open calls

Every code carries who issued it, how many people it admits and when it dies. Turn one off and that channel closes immediately.

02

Read the chain first

Each tape shows the code that let it in, so a read starts with whose judgment is behind it rather than with a cold name.

03

Decide in one click

Watching, callback, hold, pass. The talent sees the same state you set, and your note goes with it.

04

Keep the record

Who submitted, who vouched, what you decided and when. The discovery history stays yours instead of living on a third-party casting board.

Straight answers

The questions people ask

Q

Can I buy a code?

No. Nobody can. If someone offers to sell you one, it is not a real code and it will not pass the check.

Q

Do you keep my tape?

We store the link, not the video. Delete or unlist it at your end and the tape is gone, whatever we have on file.

Q

Can I submit twice for one role?

One tape per role. Pick your best take. You can submit for different roles separately.

Q

Do I need an agent?

No. The representation field is optional and being unrepresented has never been a reason to skip a tape.

Holding a code?
