PRIME CASTING

Casting is a comprehensive process that involves selecting talent for both principal roles and extras while collaborating closely with directors, producers, and talent agencies. It begins with auditioning, followed by callbacks to narrow down the best candidates. Casting directors oversee the selection of day players, stand-ins, doubles, and background talent, working alongside casting assistants, associates, and extras coordinators. This team is responsible for reviewing headshots, resumes, slate videos, and self-tape submissions, as well as conducting cold reads and screen tests to assess the suitability of each actor for a given role.

Wardrobe fittings are scheduled, and talent availability is confirmed to ensure smooth production. Casting directors also handle union (SAG-AFTRA) and non-union actors, negotiate contracts, and coordinate with production managers and crew members to integrate talent seamlessly into the film's schedule. Key tools like call sheets, casting breakdowns, and production schedules keep the process organized, while the team ensures on-set etiquette, holding areas, craft services, and call times are managed efficiently.

Extras are booked and tracked through databases, with contracts, releases, and NDAs securely managed. Casting also involves arranging voice-over actors, modes, and child actors, ensuring that legal requirements, such as work permits and guardianship, are met. Whether casting principal, ensemble, recurring, or guest roles, the goal is always to align the talent with the production's creative vision, budget constraints, and timeline, ensuring every detail is accounted for from pre-production through post-production.
