REAL PEOPLE.
REAL CALL SHEETS.

"I applied from an open call with nothing but a phone photo. Someone actually read it and wrote back."

Amelia Cross
Performer, a major streaming series

"Other agents talked about what I'd already done. NextStar talked about what I could do next."

Léa Bertin
Performer, an international feature

"One self-tape, one honest conversation. I finally felt like someone was in my corner."

Before you ask

FAST ANSWERS.

Is there really no fee to apply?
Yes, applying is free and always will be. There are no application, registration, hosting, headshot or training fees of any kind.
Do I need experience?
No. We read for instinct and presence, not credits. Plenty of the people we work with applied with a single self-tape and a phone photograph.
What happens if I'm not selected?
You'll get a written response either way within 14 days. Applying does not guarantee a role, and we'd never pretend otherwise.
Can I keep my current agent or manager?
Yes. Keep your current representation. Many performers we work with have a manager or a territory agent in markets we don't cover.
What do you do with my ID and photos?
They're used only to review and verify your application, stored securely under GDPR, and never sold. You can ask us to delete them at any time.
