This directory exists because artists deserve to be found. It is a free, personal, no-algorithm space where casting directors and directors can find you, and where your work speaks for itself. I will be actively promoting this directory so that the right people see it.
If you are working professionally in film or theatre — as a performer, director, writer, designer, composer, filmmaker, or in any other creative role — you are welcome here.
If you've always wanted a basic webpage to use as your profile page, this directory is a no-cost solution.
IMPORTANT: As you are the one uploading information and images, MAKE SURE YOU DO IT WELL! Your page is the first time some directors and casting agents will see you. Make it count....it's your calling card.

2. Writing your profile
General rules
Check your spelling, punctuation, capitalisation, grammar, and URL links carefully. The information you enter will be displayed publicly exactly as submitted. Stay within the character limits for each field. If you exceed the maximum, your information may be cut off.
-
Short introduction: maximum 300 characters
-
Long introduction: maximum 1,300 characters
-
Special skills: maximum 160 characters
Example of a 300 character short introduction:
Mumbai-based actor with fifteen years of stage and screen experience across Hindi, English, and Marathi productions. Trained in physical theatre and classical text, rooted in ensemble performance. Credits include Tata Literature Live, Prithvi Theatre Festival, and independent productions across Mumbai and Pune.
Example of a 1,300 character long introduction:
James Whitfield is a Sydney-based actor with fifteen years of professional experience across theatre, film, and television. Trained at NIDA in physical theatre, classical text, and Stanislavski-based methodology, his practice is rooted in ensemble work and a deep commitment to the craft of performance.
He has worked extensively across Australia and the United Kingdom, performing at major venues including Belvoir St Theatre, Griffin Theatre Company, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. His credits span contemporary Australian writing, Shakespeare, and new work, with a particular affinity for character-driven drama and physical storytelling.
On screen, James has appeared in feature films and short films screened at international festivals including Sydney Film Festival and Melbourne International Film Festival. He continues to work across both mediums.
As a teaching artist, James has facilitated workshops in actor training, voice, and movement for undergraduate students and working professionals. He is committed to the development of independent theatre in Australia and to the next generation of practitioners. James is based in Sydney and is available for productions, workshops, and collaborative projects nationally and internationally.
Skills selection
When selecting what you are professionally capable of, choose based on what you can do now — not what you'd like to do.
Recent projects
List up to four, most recent first. One line each — role, production, company or director, year. That's all a casting director needs. No synopses, no reviews.
Training
List your most significant training only — institution or teacher, course, year. Not every workshop you've ever attended. A casting director wants your foundation, not your diary.
Physical details (body type, height, eyes, hair, playing age)
Non-performers can select N/A for physical detail fields that don't apply to their role.
