Casting Workbook's Film School Outreach Program swings into gear with student training happening at Humber College North & South, Niagara College, Toronto Metropolitan University, Sheridan College and York University. Third Year, Final Year and GRAD students will be given supervised access to the Casting Workbook so they can find actors for their short film projects.


Benefits To Actors:

  • Self-Promotion: Many student films are submitted to and screened
    at film festivals in NA and beyond
  • Experience: Beginning FTV actors can get audition and on-camera
    experience
  • Demo Reel Scenes: All actors receive a copy of the final film
  • Networking: Work with future film-makers who will one day be
    making hiring decisions
  • Philanthropy: Give Back to the Industry and elevate a student
    film by donating your acting expertise

The film schools listed above have opted into an agreement with ACTRA. Please submit both UNION and Non-Union talent. ACTRA permits are not required for actors working on student films. These are non-paying projects.
