A few common questions we get (answers below)

  1. After we send casting avail options for a shoot, we remove that job from our website to free up cloud space.  The only shoots you will see on your profile under “jobs” are the ones we are currently checking avails for.  So if a job disappeared it's bc we sent casting available options already.  We do not leave up jobs permanently like Casting Networks does, we remove them due to website storage space.
  2. We only need one main photo to use for submissions, if production needs to see more photos of our background talent, we’ll contact you for a recent selfie. 
  3. Unfortunately production will only allow one car per profile from now on, previously many talent had multiple vehicles listed on their profiles that they did not have access to.  When production picture picks talent based on the vehicles they own, we need to 100% make sure they do indeed have that vehicle or it causes a ton of stress for production.  Our website only allows one vehicle per person.
  4. If you still cannot log into your existing profile, even after our webmaster looked into it, pls create a new profile with a new email address & let us know.
  5. We removed the avail calendar on our new website.  We will email all talent when a shoot comes in to let you know it's time to submit.  We send casting all avail options to choose from.  If you are chosen to work a shoot, we will text you to recheck your avail at the time of booking, you can then either accept the shoot or let us know you are no longer avail.
  6. When we check avails, we are only checking avails & will recheck your avails again at the time of booking.  For Sag members, casting companies cannot "hold" or "on avail" you without paying you a full session fee.  So basically no one should be "holding you" unless they are paying you.  You have up to 6 months to file a claim with Sag if a casting company is "holding" or "on availing" you for a shoot without paying you a full session fee.  
  7. Sag members get a full paid session fee if canceled on a shoot or if the shoot day was moved to another day, 1/2 session fee if a cancellation or shoot day move is due to bad weather.  You have up to 6 months to file a claim with Sag if someone canclled you or moved you to anther work day without paying you. 
  8. Sag Commercial members get paid a $21.36 wardrobe bump per each outfit you BRING to set, not worn.  You have up to 6 months to file a claim with Sag if a casting company is asking you to bring volutanry options or multiple options without paying you for them.
  9. We listed #6, #7, #8 bc we know that a couple of the popular extras casting companies in town  are "holding" talent without paying them & are still asking for voluntary wardrobe options without paying them.  Pls stop letting those companies take advantage of you.  Everyone needs to follow the Sag rules, they exist for a reason.  If you are afraid of losing work if you file a claim, Sag will accept your claim anonymously.
