MODEL CASTING & TALENT

Model casting and talent

The people in a brand film or campaign photograph shape whether the scene feels believable. We draw from a catalogue of over a hundred professional models and actors across a range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Each shortlist is built around the role, the setting and the audience the work is made for.

Nakheel

What is included

Casting led by the brief.

We work out who the scene needs and how that person should come across on screen. The shortlist is built from there.

Look tests on camera.

A headshot shows you a face. A look test shows how someone reads on camera, in the lighting and styling the shoot will use.

Direction on the day.

Talent arrives knowing the role they're there to play. We coordinate the people on set while the director focuses on their performances.

Fees and rights settled.

You approve the rates, releases and usage terms before anyone is booked.

How casting runs

Casting time is built into the production schedule from the start, whether the shoot is in Dubai or elsewhere in the Emirates. You review the shortlist, see the look tests and choose the talent to book. The selected cast is confirmed with the agreed terms and shoot details in place.

Common questions

Can you cast for a shoot we are producing ourselves?

Yes. Casting can be commissioned on its own, without booking us for the production.

Do you handle talent fees and contracts?

Yes. Fees, releases and usage terms are agreed before talent is booked.

Can you cast for Arabic and English-speaking roles?

Yes. We cast for roles in both Arabic and English.

Do you cast for shoots outside Dubai?

Yes. We source and coordinate talent for shoots across all seven emirates.
