As an independent management agency, we reject paid interviews with talent at agencies. Whether direct or indirect.
Unfortunately, these are becoming increasingly common in masterclasses and workshops. Both by independent agencies and association agencies.
This also applies to the placement of roles. Bookings must remain independent of whether talent attends workshops or not.
Anything else is unacceptable.
The way you apply for a Global Talent visa depends on your circumstances.
If you've won an eligible prestigious prize, you can apply for the visa directly. If you've not won an eligible prestigious prize, you'll need to get an endorsement first to prove that you're a leader or potential leader in your field.
Valid for 5 years.
For a quick overview, it sometimes makes sense to use a short compilation with best off scenes (trailer). However, these best off scenes should only contain short excerpts of 10 to 20 seconds and the trailer should not be longer than 3 minutes.
Showreels have changed a lot in recent years. Whereas a few years ago it was mainly montages (scenes cut together) that were presented in a file, the focus is now increasingly on individual scenes.
The information on the playing age differs in its application. Whereas in the film and television sector the playing age is given in small increments (4 - 12 years), in the stage sector it can be given much higher.
If you are traveling together on productions, events, business trips or agency events, you should always be considerate of your colleagues. What is right for me or what I regard as my private matter is not seen in the same way by others.
Note: In English, French, German, Romanian, Spanish.
We support actors who have children.
There is no reason why young parents cannot work in the acting industry.
ICDN best-practice casting guidelines for nudity and sexual content
By their nature, auditions are based on a power imbalance. Some performers can feel obligated to agree to uncomfortable requests to get a job. Casting directors are therefore rightly concerned about performer safety and issues of consent.
To help ensure a professional environment and to enable the director to believe that a performer’s ‘yes’ is freely and confidently given, we strongly recommend following the guidelines set forth below.
