For street casting
How do you run a street casting with a QR code?
Open Casting gives every casting call a private link and a QR code. Print it on a card or poster, or hold it out on your phone in the street. People apply on the spot with a photo and a short self-tape, with no app and no account. A parent or guardian confirms every under-18 application, so it is made for children’s roles in adverts and productions. One fee per call, from £350.

Common questions
What is street casting?
Street casting means finding people in everyday places, not through agents: on the street, at events and online. Adverts, music videos, fashion and documentaries use it to find real faces.
Can I use a QR code for a casting call?
Yes. Every Open Casting call comes with a print-ready QR code and a link. Print it on cards, flyers or posters, or show it on your phone.
Is it safe to street cast children?
A parent or guardian confirms every under-18 application by email before the team sees it. Every casting page names who is asking and the date the details are deleted. You may also need a child performance licence from the local authority.
Do people have to sign up to apply?
No. They open the link, fill in a short form and send a photo and a self-tape from their phone.
What does it cost?
From £350 per casting call, for up to 150 applicants. No subscription. Free to apply.
