One of the best Casting Agencies in the city for Film & Television.
Filmworks is pretty much the only casting agency in Halifax for film and television so I suppose they win by default. But there are individual Casting Directors in the city that also do limited casting in these categories. So I'm not just giving them five stars for no reason. I have more than enough evidence as to why these five stars are so very much deserved.
What is a Casting Agency or Casting Director? Simply put these are people who are hired by a production company to find Actors for the various character roles that the production company has in the script they are going to film. Some people get confused and think that Casting Director's or Casting Agencies represent Actors but that is not true. They do not represent or receive money from Actors. Those are Talent Agents. So if a production company needs Actors, they generally contact a Casting Director who will then contact the Actors Talent Agent (sometimes just referred to as Agent), who will then talk to the Actor and see if they want to audition for the production through the Casting Director or Casting Agency. Clear as mud? Good.
Filmworks gets five stars for more reasons than I can count. First off they have been around for at least my entire career which is going on thirteen years. So they are one of the most experienced companies in Atlantic Canada for casting. Secondly, they have maintained a strong professionalism and consistency for being a professional and reliable Casting Agency in the Maritimes. The staff are of course the reason for this. They are very hard working and dedicated to helping Actors and Production Companies receive the highest quality of service possible
Being and Actor and a Producer I know what its like working with good and bad Casting Directors. I must have auditioned for hundreds of jobs with Filmworks in the past thirteen years and can happily say I have landed quite a few roles through them. I never walk in, unsure as to what will happen. They make sure I have all the information I need for an audition and I am as prepared as possible.
So for consistently doing great work, having amazing staff and being a local business that is so important to the local film industry, Filmworks gets five out of five stars!
