“I NEVER JUST DO
ONE THING, LIKE
WRITE AND THEN
LEAVE IT TO THE
UNIVERSE.”
Latinx performers, she auditioned all types
of actors in case someone made her see
the role differently. Brown also encourages
filmmakers to stay open in the casting pro-
cess because you never know who might
impress you. “My advice would be to stay
open, question why a character is male [or]
female, Black or white, American, and then
ask if they absolutely have to be. This will
enable you to let people—actors—surprise
you. Audition some people who don’t look
like how you imagined the character some-
PRODUCTION COMPANIES:
HOW TO USE THIS LIST
IN SIX SIMPLE STEPS
STEP ONE: Narrow down which companies may be interested in your work. Look through the
Production Types listed under each company to see what type of work they typically do. For example,
if you have an idea or script for a new film, you might not want to send it to 495 Productions, since
they typically produce animation, TV series, and reality TV. Find a company that primarily produces
feature films instead. Zero in on the companies that would be the best fit for your project.
STEP TWO: Find the company that fits your project’s style and medium. Look through the
Credits listed under each company to see what style of work they typically produce. For example, let’s
say that one of the companies on your list is Thunder Road Pictures. In their list of credits, they have
films such as “Wrath of the Titans” (the ancient Greek story of Perseus and his journey to the treach-
erous underworld to rescue his father, Zeus), “The Town” (a film about a bank thief who attempts to
rectify his feelings for a bank manager and his need to dodge the FBI), and “Brooklyn’s Finest” (the
story of three unconnected Brooklyn cops who end up at the same deadly location after following
vastly different paths in their careers). If the film you are pitching is a romantic comedy about a
female librarian, this company might not be for you.
STEP THREE: Pay attention to how the company wants you to submit your work. Carefully read
the Submission Policy. Take note of the following details: Do they prefer full scripts or treatments?
Do they prefer digital submissions or hard copies? Do they accept unsolicited scripts? Do they only
accept submissions from agents? Do they allow you to drop off your submission in person? Make sure
you follow their policies exactly, as submitting your script in the wrong format may result in it never
getting read! Also, make sure that if email submissions are preferred, you are sending your work to
the correct address. Some companies list more than one email address, so take note if there is one
specifically set aside to receive submissions.
STEP FOUR: Browse the company’s website. If you are having trouble determining any of the infor-
mation above from just the list, visit the company’s website and look around. Learn more about the
history of the company. Find out how long they have been in business and how often they produce.
Visit their Facebook page or start following them on Twitter. You never know what you might find that
could give you the edge over someone else when sitting down to your first meeting.
STEP FIVE: Study the company’s list of personnel. Look at the names listed under Staff to
become familiar with the people you may be dealing with. That way, if you do get to speak with any-
one, you will know their names and the names of the people they may be referring to. It may behoove
you to send your submission to the email address of an assistant. If an assistant likes your script, he
or she may move it to the top of the stack on the VP’s desk! We recommend only sending your work to
the executives of the company as a last resort. While there is a small chance something might catch
their eye, an actor’s time is valuable, and you want to make sure that your hard work is being read by
someone, instead of getting shuffled aside right away.
STEP SIX: Send out thank-you emails. Use the Email addresses listed to drop a note to anyone
you’ve met along the way, thanking them for taking the time, and asking if there is anything else you
can send along.

CASTING DIRECTORS:
HOW TO USE THIS LIST
IN SIX SIMPLE STEPS
Step One: Find out who is casting the projects that are right for you. Read through the
“Production Listings” on www.backstage.com/resources to find the most up-to-date produc-
tion listings for your area. (Online listings also include theater, so make sure you click on the
appropriate links.) Highlight any productions you would be interested in, whether they are
currently shooting or not. Then, do a search of other casting opportunities at www.backstage.
com/casting to find more opportunities that might be right for you. Once you have a list of
productions you are interested in, make a list of the casting directors linked to each project.
Make note of any casting directors that are linked to more than one project that you find
interesting. Are there any casting directors that seem to be doing a lot of casting for a specific
network or director? Take note of any patterns or correlations that you see.
Step Two: Note the credits and who they represent. In addition to the list you made from
Step One, go through the Call Sheet list of casting directors, and look at each listing’s credits.
Are there any projects listed here that you are particularly interested in? If no credits are listed,
look at the types of performers they cast. Do you fit into this category? If you are interested in
both film and commercial work, it may be good to star the listings that cast both, as you may
discover more than one opportunity if you are able to audition for them. Note that many of the
listings have more than one casting director on staff. Make sure you know which casting direc-
tor casts the projects you are interested in. Also, it may be worth paying attention to who the
casting associates are, as they may be the people who initially bring you in for an audition.
Step Three: Follow the submission policy. Take note of each listing’s submission policy. It
is very important to follow this policy exactly when submitting for any project. If you found a
casting director through an online casting call, always follow the policy listed for the specific
project rather than the more general policy listed in our directory. If you have an agent or man-
ager, make sure they are aware of your interest in this specific casting director, and that he or
she knows how they would like to be approached as well. Submit a professional headshot and
résumé, along with a cover letter explaining why you are interested in working with them. You
can highlight why their work is of particular interest to you, and how your background lends
itself to similar projects. Make sure to invite them to any performances you have coming up, as
you never know when they might be available to attend.

TALENT AGENCIES:
HOW TO USE THIS LIST
IN SIX SIMPLE STEPS
STEP ONE: Determine what kind of agent you want. Different agencies specialize in differ-
ent things. Some agencies cast a lot of commercials, some work in television, and others focus
on modeling. Highlight the agents that specialize in your chosen field(s). Also take note of the
age range they represent to make sure you fit within their specifications.
STEP TWO: Go to their website. Read about the history of the agency. How long have they
been in business? Do they have offices in multiple cities or countries? Some of them have sec-
tions spotlighting their clients. See if these people are at a similar place in their career. Many
of the websites also have a section that lists their recent bookings. This tells you with whom
they are connected and where their clients are getting work.
STEP THREE: Take note of their union and organization affiliations. If they are SAG-
AFTRA franchised, this means that they comply with SAG-AFTRA guidelines, and you can
contact the union with any inquiries. Also take note of any trade organizations they are a
part of, such as the Association of Talent Agents (ATA) and the National Association of Talent
Representatives (NATR). Members of such organizations may be licensed and regulated by
state and local agencies, or have agreements with actor unions such as the Actors’ Equity
Association. Research any affiliations with which you are unfamiliar.
STEP FOUR: Scan their list of personnel to zero in on the specific agent with whom
you would want to meet. Many agencies have a few different departments, so make sure
you are talking to the person in your desired field. Once you have a short list of agencies and
names, do additional research on the individual agents. Many of them write blogs, have been
interviewed, or have been featured in articles. Read anything the agent has said regarding their
work and whom they like to represent. These resources may include tips as to what the agent
is looking for in a submission.
STEP FIVE: Read the submission policy carefully. After making sure your headshot and
résumé are professionally generated and up-to-date, take special note of the agency’s submis-
sion policy. While some agencies ask for online submissions, others still prefer hard copies to
be mailed in. Follow the instructions carefully. Do not call or visit the agency if their policy asks
you not to. Also take note of which agents accept postcards and invitations. Put their name
and address on a list, and invite them to your next live performance or screening.
STEP SIX: Send out your materials. After finding out how the agent would like to receive
communications, print out a cover letter asking for a meeting. Make sure this letter is specific
to the individual agent. Let them know why you are perfect for their agency in particular, and
what details about their work interest you. If at all possible, invite them to see your next perfor-
mance, and offer them free tickets to the event. Make sure that they know that you are actively
searching for and creating opportunities yourself (giving examples if possible), but would wel-
come their help in booking additional auditions and jobs in the industry. Thank them for their
time, and attach your professional headshot and résumé.

TALENT MANAGERS:
HOW TO USE THIS LIST
IN SIX SIMPLE STEPS
Step One: Find out who each manager represents. Once you have narrowed down your list
to managers in your area, highlight those who represent your desired medium. Many manag-
ers represent both film and theater actors, but some specialize in a specific area. Make sure
they are familiar with the type of work you are interested in. Also note the ages represented
and any additional information in the comment sections, as some managers have listed a spe-
cific type of client they are seeking at this time.
Step Two: Take note of how each manager would like to receive submissions. While
some prefer materials to be emailed, other prefer hard copies. Do not call or visit the manage-
ment company if they do not wish you to do so. Instead, follow their submission policy exactly
to ensure that you make a good first impression.
Step Three: Send in your materials. Send each manager a professional cover letter, head-
shot, and résumé, and attach a demo reel if you have one. In the cover letter, make sure to
address which manager you are interested in working with and why, based on the research
that you have done. You may want to say why it is the right time in your career to begin work-
ing with a manager, and how you feel a manager would add to your growth and success. You
may also want to briefly address your strengths and personality as an artist. Make sure to
invite him or her to any upcoming projects.
Additional Tip: Prepare a list of questions for any meetings. A good manager is interested
in the overall trajectory of your career. They will want to know where you came from, what
your goals are, and how you are working to achieve those goals. A manager should be able to
evaluate your career not only by the work you get, but also by how your work is received, how
it is publicized, and how you can use it to leverage the next opportunity. Your manager should
be aware of any presence you have online, and how those who see it are interpreting that
presence. As a result, it is important for actors to have a list of questions prepared to ask the
manager with whom they are meeting. This ensures that they are finding the right person to
represent them publicly and professionally.
