BIG PICTURE:

We are looking for a Casting & Locations Associate whose primary job is to find talented actors in the Los Angeles area that can deliver high level performances for our short films. This individual will find actors through posting breakdowns on Breakdown Services, LA Casting, and by contacting Agencies in LA to find the best possible talent to submit to our projects. The Casting Associate will request audition tapes, review self tape submissions, and present recommendations as to who should be cast to the Casting Manager. The ideal candidate has already established a profile on LA Casting and Breakdown Services and is experienced in communicating with agencies. Good casting is crucial to making characters credible on-screen and is fundamentally important to the success of our videos. In addition, this individual will have experience finding locations through Giggster, Peerspace, and other location platforms when the script requires a location that our Dhar Mann Studios sets do not have.

• Maintaining strong relationships with the local acting community and talent agencies throughout LA
• Any other duties to support organization and the overall casting process
