One year and some weeks ago, we released Castiko v1.0 to help casting directors focus only on the fun part of casting: discovering new actors, and bringing their talents to notice. We wanted to eliminate all the other painful steps in the process.

We’ve spent the last one year around amazing casting directors who have had both the vision to see what we were trying to create, and the patience to encourage us in our experiments to find the best solutions for them.

I’m so excited to tell you that it has all come together.

The 2nd Castiko rocket is all but ready for lift off.

With the new Castiko, you, dear casting directors, will be able to:

  • Bring all your data online in one place, and keep it super well organized.
  • Find the right actors instantly.
  • Email/SMS/notify hundreds of actors simultaneously.
  • Schedule and run complex auditions without ever needing pen and paper.
  • Keep all those audition videos backed up, organized and easily accessible.
  • Create and maintain a professional website for yourself, which you can share with production houses and actors alike.

Basically, it’s the last app you’ll ever need as a casting director.

Things are shaping up well, and the first complete Beta will be in your hands on Monday, the 6th of November. It’ll be buggy, it’ll have weird eccentricities, but it will work, and it will save you tonnes and tonnes of time, energy and money.

Casting should be a joyous process of finding and then promoting the absolute best talent. We’re here to take all the unnecessary pain away.

Monday, 6th of November. Save the date!
