    Case Study Overview

    01

    The Challenge

    Finding a quality hiring management software in the entertainment industry is very difficult. The client wanted to create a database of cast and crew members, where hiring producers can find talents and crew members easily. The client needed a solution that doesn't need any middleman to hire talent and the member's profile should be designed in such a way to get attention and fit the needs of the producer or studio who needs to hire.

    02

    Our Analysis

    Compared the prevailing union hiring channels (SAG-AFTRA, IATSE Local 600 sourcing lists) against the indie/non-union freelance market the client wanted to serve.
    Modelled the talent profile around production-side filters that actually matter on a callsheet: union status, work-radius, dialect, conflicts list, headshot reel.
    Designed an availability calendar tied to project hold dates so producers can spot scheduling conflicts before issuing a deal memo.
    Sized the media pipeline (S3 + CloudFront + ffmpeg thumbnail jobs) for reels averaging 80-200 MB without blowing the storage budget.
    03

    Our Solution

    We launched a production-facing casting platform with reel hosting on S3/CloudFront, ffmpeg-driven thumbnail and preview generation, a producer search tuned for callsheet-grade filters (union, radius, holds, conflicts), and a direct booking flow that issues a deal memo and locks the talent's calendar in a single step.
