Casting Platform for the Film Industry
A web platform where actors, production companies and studio hubs meet. We designed and built it: portfolios, castings, applications, messaging, subscriptions and a blog in one product.

Who uses the casting platform
Three roles share one product. Each has its own personal account and its own access rights.
- Actors: a portfolio, castings to apply to and offers from production companies.
- Production companies: castings, candidate filters and messages.
- Studio hubs: their own account and access rights on the same platform.
- The platform team: approves new accounts and runs the blog.
Casting through messengers and contact books
Before the platform, actors, agencies and production companies talked through messengers, email and personal contacts. Casting was slow, newcomers found the market hard to enter, and professionals found it inconvenient to work.
- Bring every party into one product.
- Give each role clear access rights.
- Keep castings, applications and messages in one place.
What the casting platform includes
Actor portfolios
Photos, parameters such as city, height, eye and hair colour, and a video introduction. Contacts are visible only to authorised production companies.
Castings and applications
Production companies publish castings, and actors apply on the platform, not across different channels.
Filters and messaging
A production company filters candidates, messages them and follows statuses inside the platform.
Subscriptions and promotion
A subscription model and profile promotion are built into the product.
Moderation panel
New actors, studios and production companies wait for approval. The team views, edits, approves or rejects each profile.
Blog for search
Articles, news and tips for actors and producers, written in a built-in editor with a cover and formatting.
How a casting runs on the platform
Sign-up
An actor, studio or production company registers, and the team approves the account.
Portfolio
The actor adds photos, parameters and a video introduction.
Casting
A production company publishes a casting on the platform.
Applications and selection
Actors apply, and the production company filters candidates and messages the ones it needs.
How we built the casting platform
We designed and developed a platform with three roles and clear access logic. It also connects to the client’s wider ecosystem of event platforms.
Roles and access
Actors, production companies and studio hubs each get their own account. What a user sees depends on the role.
The casting path
Portfolio, casting, application, filters and messaging, in the order casting really works.
Paid features
Subscriptions and profile promotion as the product’s source of recurring revenue.
Admin panel and blog
Moderation, messages and articles in one panel. The blog works for search promotion.
