Submit for this Role

GENERAL INFO

When submitting for any role with the studio, please send an email to the address specified in the breakdown. Please be sure to include the following in the email:

1. In the subject line, please include the name of the production.

2. Send your headshot or a recent snapshot so that we can visualize who's submitting for the part.

3. Send your acting resume or list any experience you've had with acting. If you haven't had any, just tell us that up front. We have discovered some excellent actors who had no previous experience at all.

4. If you have a demo reel or IMDb profile, please send us links to those so that we can do our homework.

5. Send us any other required materials that may be specified in the breakdown you're interested in submitting for. Be sure to read the breakdown thoroughly and make sure you understand it before you submit.

AFTER YOU SUBMIT

Remember to be patient. Sometimes, we receive dozens, or even hundreds of submissions for a single role.

You may not hear from us right away, and generally we will only contact individuals we are interested in seeing a video audition from. If we do not contact you, it is not because we don't like you! You just may not be right for the particular role.

Another common reason we do not contact certain individuals is because instructions are not followed complete. Please be sure you read all information in the breakdowns and include all requested information. If we get a submission that omits items we have asked for, we typically delete the submission right away.

IF WE CONTACT YOU

Congrats! We want to see more! Generally, we will send you a small portion of a scene or monologue to read for us on camera. You can record your performance on any camera you have at your disposal, and share it with us in a variety of ways. Just be sure to read all information we send to you on how to get your video to us, and be sure you submit it by the deadline we give you.
