For performers
Headshots, a reel, scene clips, a slate, the skills you actually have and the dates you are free — in one profile, in front of the people casting on OpenFlix. Everyone else charges performers to be seen. We charge the side doing the hiring.
Free for performers and for their representation. No trial, no tier, no card.
01 What being seen normally costs
Everyone else charges you to be seen.
- To be listed
- The main casting sites charge a performer a few hundred a year to be listed at all, and their agent far more than that on top.
- To submit
- You pay again for the privilege of submitting, and again for the reel hosting, and none of it is refunded when nobody calls.
- To be believed
- Your resume is a list of claims typed into a box. Everyone knows it, so nobody quite believes any of it.
- To keep it
- And the profile you paid for is stranded on somebody else's website, where it dies the day you stop paying.
On OpenFlix
Every other casting directory is a list bolted onto nowhere. This one sits inside the platform where films are funded, made and released, so the people who will need a cast are already on it. Free for you and for your agent is the smaller half of that.
02 How it works
- 01
Make the profile
Name, the age range you play, stats, unions, the markets you work in and whether you are seeking representation. It takes a few minutes and it costs nothing.
- 02
Put the work in it
Headshots, photos, a reel, individual scene clips, a slate, a voice demo and a resume PDF. Upload once; nothing is public until you say so.
- 03
Say what you can actually do
Skills come from a controlled list — riding, dialects, stage combat, instruments, languages — so that a casting director searching for a rider finds the riders instead of everyone who typed the word.
- 04
Block out your dates
Availability lives on the profile, so the answer to "are you free in March" is on the page rather than in a thread.
- 05
Decide who sees what
Public, unlisted-by-link, or private — and the same choice per photo, so a look you are not ready to publish can still go to your agent.
- 06
Share the link anywhere
A public profile is a real page with its own address and a proper preview card, so pasting it into an email or a message shows your headshot and your name rather than a bare URL.
What goes in one: headshots, photos, a reel, individual scene clips, a slate, a voice demo, a resume PDF.
03 The shape of it
Price to be found
Nothing
Not a trial. Being listed, searched, shortlisted and cast is free permanently; the hiring side pays.
Price to your agent
Nothing
Representation does not pay to see or manage their own roster here.
Visibility
Per photo
Public, unlisted or private — set on the profile and again on each item.
Under 18
Guardian first
Private until a parent or guardian consents; permits on the secure documents rail.
04 Straight about what is not here yet
To be exact about credits: today you type your resume, the same as anywhere else. What is different is that a credit has a place to point at — a real title on OpenFlix — and a credit that came from a booking here will be marked as verified rather than taken on trust. Booking through OpenFlix is not switched on yet, so no credit carries that mark today, and the page will not pretend otherwise.
05 Questions
What is the catch? Why is it free?
Supply is the hard side of a casting marketplace: a directory with no performers in it is worth nothing to a production, and a production with no directory has nothing to search. So the side that is hard to get is free, and the side doing the hiring pays. It is not a trial and there is no card to enter to be listed, searched or cast — that half is free permanently and nothing you could buy moves you up a search result. There is one optional extra, and it is cosmetic: a one-time magazine-style layout for the profile page you already have, at the same address. It changes how your page looks and nothing about how you are found.
Are the credits on my profile verified?
Not today, and it would be easy to imply otherwise. You type your resume, the same as anywhere else. The difference is structural: a credit can point at a real title on OpenFlix, and one that came from a booking made here will carry a verified mark instead of being taken on trust. Booking through OpenFlix is not switched on yet, so nothing carries that mark today.
Can I submit for roles here?
Not yet. Right now the profile is how you are found: casting searches the directory by market, union, skill, language and played age, and saves the searches they want to come back to. Posting a role, submissions, auditions and offers are being built. Being on the directory before that exists is the point of doing it now.
Who can see my photos?
Whoever you choose, item by item. The profile itself is public, unlisted by link, or private, and each photo, clip and document carries its own setting on top of that — so an unpublished look can be visible to your representation and to nobody else.
I am under 18, or I represent someone who is.
The profile stays private until a parent or guardian consents, and photos are never public by default. Work permits and trust-account paperwork are stored on the secure documents rail rather than in the ordinary media library, and are shown to a production only once a booking exists.
Do I have to leave my current agency site or casting service?
No, and you should not. This is an additional place to be found, it costs nothing, and the profile is a page with its own address that you can paste anywhere. Nothing about it asks for exclusivity.
06 Not you? The other two
Go
The profile costs nothing. Not being in it does.
Make it once, decide what is public, and be in the search when the search happens. You will be asked to make an account first.
Free permanently to be listed and cast. You choose what is public before anything is.
Storyline
Rather be pitched than read a page?
Three minutes, swipeable, and it makes the whole case for you rather than listing what the product has.
