Frequently asked questions

• At SST we search, interact with and identify talents round the clock, building an ever-growing catalog of both fresh and experienced talents. Doing the same thing, will practically take more time and effort for any direction crew. That time can be spent on your craft • In the digital age, the audience quickly gets tired of known faces. Our casting service will assure you more believable new faces for characters, and a more immersive experience into the story. • We find both new and experienced talents, with no compromise on performance quality. We also bring in new perspectives to the project through our choices • Consider us as a collaborator to reinforce your creative vision!

• At SST, we read scripts completely. But, we would like to get an in-person briefing from the director to get the exact vibe and vision • The more specific your character description, the better the quality of options we can give you. Please allocate time for a face-to-face briefing. We’ll get you your deck of options at the earliest. And then it’s our job to bring your choice of faces, prepared for the shoot.

At the beginning of every day of shoot, one of our team members will be available on spot to coordinate and orient the talents cast by SST. In the rare case of any complications that need troubleshooting, the Casting Director will be available on call, and will attend to the issue immediately. Based on the weightage of the situation, the Casting Director might visit the shoot.

• Feature Films / Web Series and Long Formats: - It is always best to officially onboard a Casting Director, once the scripting is completed. A Casting Director could be the first technician to provide a pre-visualization of the film’s final shape, putting faces to characters. - The turnaround time depends on the scale and details required. Remember... we get you the best options, and not the easiest ones. PS. Being a relatively young department here, we would like to gently remind you to incorporate ‘Casting’ into your budget without fail • TVCs and Short Formats: We understand that most corporate backed projects work on crushing timelines. We’ll gladly share your load, as we do work within short notice. But again, we suggest you onboard us at the very start, so that we could give you the first deck of options in 2-3 working days

Yes Boss! We have an ever growing database of talents, ranging from freshers to experienced actors from all over the country, as well as some international talent. But, when we work on a project, we don’t limit ourselves to our database. We also find more faces from the world outside, so that the project’s vision is served best - No compromise!
