Filmmaking in Illinois
Action!
Filmmaking is happening all over Illinois, not just in Chicago. Films and television shows are coming to shoot in Central Illinois!
If you've ever wanted to be in a film or see how filmmaking works, this is a great way to get started.
From movie stars to local filmmakers and everything in between, right in your backyard.
Talent Pool
We are creating a pool of people who would like to be considered to be in these films. From background actors to roles with lines, we're helping filmmakers find the people they're looking for.
You do not need to have any previous experience and this doesn't cost you anything. If you book a role, they'll pay you!
How It Works
We need your name, contact information, and a picture of you - that's it! You can fill out the form below to be added to our database.
When films are looking for folks to be in them, we will email the talent pool with the shoot information, you'll get back to us if you're available, and we'll reserve a slot for you on set.
Who We Want
Everyone! Anyone who's ever wanted to be in a film is welcome to join our talent pool. All ages, genders, ethnicities, body types - we want to see everyone.
You do not need previous experience, just a photo and a way for us to get in touch with you.
Time Commitment
So, when will we need you to come to set? It depends on the project! We'll send out emails letting you know we are casting a project, and if you're available for the dates, you can request a slot on set.
Some shoots are short, but we always tell folks to plan on being on set for a full day.
If you can't make a day, don't worry. We'll keep trying to get you in the next project.
Paid Work
Like we said, this doesn't cost you anything. When you book roles with us, the films will pay you to be there.
The rates will vary from one project to the next, so we'll let you know the dates, times, and rates when we reach out to book you.
Learn the Lingo
Speaking Roles
These roles are the roles with lines - talking to folks, interacting with other actors, and memorizing the script.
These roles will require an audition and are harder to get, but this office loves giving chances to new faces.
Background Roles
If lines aren't your thing, join the background! This is the easiest way to get on set - you could be at a restaurant, in a crowd, a non-speaking secretary - the possibilities are endless!
If you've never been on a set, we recommend you start here.
Production Assistants
Unlike background or speaking roles, this is not an acting job. Production assistants are part of the crew.
Being a part of the crew and helping make the movie is a great way to be involved if you're too shy for the screen.
