As soon as you've signed up on Casting Lux, your profile will be automatically eligible for all projects under each category you have chosen. If a casting agent finds your profile suitable for a particular role, they will put it forward to the head of project.
Once you are selected, you will receive an email with a description of the project and your role in it. You can then decide whether you would like to accept the project.
Our system will automatically notify you as soon as you have been selected by a casting agent and confirmed by the production company.
Normally, you will receive the information a few weeks prior to the filming dates. Occasionally however, you may receive notification on short notice, due to circumstances related to the production company, e.g. when the director decides to increase the number of background extras.
Once you're cast in a professional production, you will receive a payment for your attendance, depending on the scope of your part. For example, extras normally start at €70 a day.
To find a suitable role for you, our casting agents require information related to your physical appearance, the language(s) you speak and any additional talent/experience you would like to share with us.
You will notice that some information is optional, however it is recommended that you fill in as much information as possible because this will assist directors and producers to select the best possible options for their projects.
Please note, that a more complete profile will provide a better chance of being selected. A fully completed profile provides the best chance to get cast.
Taking into consideration the complexities of a film shoot, e.g. the number of actors present, complicated camera moves, stunts and the necessity for several takes from different angles, we cannot give you the exact timings of the start nor the end of the shoot. Therefore, it is advised that you should be available the entire day.
However, if possible we will always try to give you an approximate indication of the timings. Please note, that some film shoots take place during the day time and others during the night time.
Generally, snacks are provided. For film shoots that last longer than half a day you can expect a warm meal, depending on the film production company.
Please note, that is strongly advised that you bring some snacks with you due to the flexible nature of the time-table and the unpredictability of an exact time a meal would be served.
Offering Casting Lux as a premium service, allows us to provide and maintain a high quality service while continuing to improve the platform and putting energy into its future development as well as enabling an appropriate customer service.
As much as we would like to offer our service for free, we simply can't due to the high expenses linked to building/mainting a website & interactive talent app, not to mention certain business, legal and technical constraints (like monthly web-server hosting bills and other infrastructure).
There may be casting services around that offer a free membership, but then sell your data to other companies for profit.
Casting Lux rather likes to keep your data private, and therefore asks you to pay a small fee in return for your membership that allows us to keep our servers running & cover our initial development costs.
The modular nature of our pricing structure permits you to sign up only for the categories that interest you. Compared to other subscription services, this means you never have to pay for services that you don't intend to use.
In brief, you set the amount of your subscription fee yourself through your choice of casting categories.
The price increases as your chances to get cast also increase. Statistically, the more categories you select, the more visible you are in our database, the higher your chances to get a part.
As the payable amount is considerably low and covers a one year period, we can only accept the payment in one single transaction. The one-year period begins on the day you create your profile. Towards the end of this 12 month period, you will receive a notification asking you if you wish to continue being registered at Casting Lux for another year.
If you would like to change your email address, please send us a request from your profile's original email address with your new email address to info[at]castinglux.com.
