Agency and
casting support
For current students who are ready to be submitted. Profiles on the platforms casting actually uses, and someone in your corner when a self-tape request lands on a Tuesday night.
Agency onboarding
A one-time setup and administration step: platform setup support for Altai, Showcast and Casting Networks, document processing, profile checks and compliance records. Any fees those platforms charge are theirs and are separate from this.
One-time$50
Casting support
Notes before you send. Self-tape feedback on up to three takes, a wardrobe, makeup and slate memo, a movement guide written against the actual sides, and a listing on the student showcase.
Cancel anytime$50 / month
Forward-only
Your tape is ready and you do not want notes on it. We still put prepared material forward for suitable roles. No feedback, no movement guide, no fee.
After onboardingNo ongoing fee
You do not have to subscribe to be submitted. Any current student who has completed onboarding is put forward for suitable roles either way. The subscription buys one thing: somebody watches your tape and tells you what to fix before it goes.
The deadline that matters is yours. Send everything at least an hour before the casting cut-off, because after that nobody can help you. Incomplete, inaccessible or wrongly labelled files are the usual reason a tape misses, so send them ready rather than early.
The cost, plainly
What it costs you if you book
Nothing at all if you have your own representation elsewhere. Nothing on unpaid roles. Up to ten per cent on paid bookings where FilmLab is the agency that submitted you.
Ten per cent is not a number we picked. It is the legal maximum a private employment agent may charge in Queensland, set by the Private Employment Agents Act 2005. We charge up to the cap and never above it.
And the part worth saying plainly: neither pathway guarantees submissions, auditions, callbacks, roles, paid work or any casting outcome. Those decisions are made by producers, casting directors and production companies, not by us. What we can promise is that your profile is on the right platforms, kept current, and that someone reads the brief with you when a request comes in.
Before we represent anyone
The paperwork, and why there is some
Putting a young performer in front of casting is a regulated activity, and we do it as a private employment agent under the Private Employment Agents Act 2005. That means you are entitled to specific things before we act for you, and we give you all of them in writing.
Information Statement
