Casting agency vs cattle call (adult & EU)
A cattle call packs a room (or inbox) with no shortlist, no rate, and no written scope. A desk-mediated casting filters for fit, then books with dates and compensation in writing.
What a cattle call looks like
“Everyone welcome, bring heels, no pay / exposure only,” vague city, or hundreds invited to the same slot with no callback plan.
What a mediated desk does
We review applications, match limits and travel, then email only when a producer brief fits — you can decline any offer with no obligation.
Agency language vs our desk
We are not a traditional talent agency contract. We are a casting desk: free apply, private prefs, written rates before call time, producers book through us.
How to choose a listing
Prefer cards with starts_at dates, city, and pay notes. Skip unpaid mass calls and any path that demands fees or explicit media before a reply.
