Your network ends

"A short film needs a 60-year-old fiddle player who can act. My network ends at 30." Describe the part and get real candidates well outside your contacts, each with a way to reach them. Ask Katia this

No agency budget

"Every quote I get for casting is more than the whole budget for the shoot." No talent fees, no gatekeeping — a free look is included with no account, and the plans are listed on the pricing page. Ask Katia this

Real people, not performers

"I need faces for a doc — real people who lived it, not performers." The search goes past the usual suspects: everyday faces, creators, and non-union talent alongside actors. Ask Katia this
