Job Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled creative casting visionary, committed to finding the right actors to play the right roles in our slate of multiple webisode productions.

• Negotiate and manage all contract processes, working as intermediary between Interactive Films and actors, agents, and talent representatives. 

• Implement organizational systems to track past, current, and future casting processes and sessions, as well as launch in-house directories to track all used actors so Interactive Films can more readily document experiences, personalize relationships, and readily partner with them again.

• Special projects, as assigned by the Content Director, to support the success of and create momentum for studio productions.

Requirements: 

• Extensive experience (5+ years) within casting for film and television. 

• Strong network of industry contacts, including talent agencies, agents, and actors.
