Casting
Background Work is a platform that connects performers with casting teams. Performers retain full control of their profiles, applications, availability, and submissions. Casting teams review applicants, select talent, and manage bookings.
What We Are Not
Background Work is not a casting director or casting team. We do not make casting decisions or book performers for productions.
We are also not a talent agency. We do not represent performers or secure work on their behalf.
In short: Performers apply. Casting teams select and book. Background Work brings them together.
