What Is A Casting PDF & Why You Should Know About It
StuntListing.com is the go-to site for hiring performers because of its timesaving coordinator tools - the casting PDF is the stunt coordinator’s most valuable (and most used!) tool.
Stunt coordinators search StuntListing's database for talent and make lists of performers like you. Once their search is complete, coordinators can create a casting PDF using a variety of your information including your StuntListing profile, reel, resume, and wardrobe information.
Why does the Casting PDF matter to you?
An incomplete StuntListing profile translates to an incomplete performer page on the casting PDF, and an incomplete performer page makes you look unprofessional. A complete StuntListing profile demonstrates professionalism and attention to detail. It shows that you take your craft seriously and are dedicated to presenting yourself accurately. Stunt coordinators appreciate performers who provide thorough and precise information, as it reflects your commitment to your profession.
If your reel, resume, and wardrobe info (or anything else) are missing from your StuntListing profile, they will also be missing from the casting PDF. Don't waste a busy coordinator's time by making them contact you to get this information - they may even just move on to the next performer instead.
A stunt coordinator expects your casting PDF page to look like this:
The coordinator wants to see:
- your name & contact info
- a link to your stunt reel
- a link to your stunt resume
- your wardrobe info & any wardrobe notes
They don't want to see missing wardrobe info:
A missing stunt reel:
A missing stunt resume:
Or worst of all, missing links AND measurements!
These are the basic items, along with your skills, that should be on your StuntListing profile. If you're new and don't have any of these items, feel free to reach out to the StuntListing team for some guidance.
Making a coordinator's job easier starts before you even get the job. If any of the above mentioned items aren't on your StuntListing profile, it creates more work for them, which is what you want to avoid. Don't miss out on jobs - log into your StuntListing.com profile to make sure it has everything a coordinator needs to hire you.
