You can log into your profile at any time to add more information and photos. You should familiarise yourself with your profile and make sure its up to date and all sections have been filled out.

By making this application with Brenda Camilleri Casting you are agreeing to our terms of engagement and GDPR Code of Conduct - you can read more about these here. We also highly recommend you read through all the frequently asked questions prior filling our application form to ensure that it is done properly and that you don’t have to go through the process more than once. We look forward to working with you.

All the jobs we offer are paid - and the amount paid varies depending on your role and the production. When you receive an availability request we will let you know the payment offered. For example, a background extra may expect to be paid around €80-100 euros per day, however a featured role may earn more than €120 per day! Please note that in most films 10% tax is deducted at source and paid on your behalf by the production. We suggest you start as an extra, unless you have examples of acting to a higher standard. Either way, it’s always possible to work upwards in pretty big projects!

As a film extra, after your first job with us, we will contact you directly by sms and/or email to ask for your availability for the next film work. So always keep an eye out for our emails so as not to miss any opportunity!

Its important to know that responding to enquiries is essential to you getting booked for the job! Quick and accurate responses to enquiries are essential. We find that we receive the first 75% of the responses within the first 20 minutes immediately after the casting call. We usually leave enquiries open for 24 hours for those that cannot respond immediately, but film productions often want to see options as soon as possible.

On most productions you will be given a release form which also has your payment information prior to your first filming day. You will have a copy of your release form in your profile. The production company may refuse to pay your fees if you do not sign your release form in the requested time frame.

As of September 2020, most payments will be made by direct bank transfer due to the new charges banks have implemented to cash cheques.

It is therefore vital that you provide your correct IBAN number and bank details. It is also important to give us your correct postal address so that you can receive by post your payslip and FS3. All changes of addresses must be communicated to us in writing by email before the production is finished. Incorrect details may result in your payments being delayed or paid to someone else.

Payments take approximately 30 days from the last day of filming to be processed by the relevant departments.

All companies work differently however it is standard practice that production will issue payment within 30 days of the last production shoot day, but sometimes this can take longer in the event of a big production company, where possibly thousands of other background artistes would be receiving payment after the shoot. In any case, you can always send an email if you are experiencing any difficulty with payment.

Mobile phones and cameras are prohibited on set. If you bring a mobile phone or personal valuables like jewellery and computer games you will be asked to leave it in the holding area at your own risk. Production is not responsible for your belongings therefore it is better if valuables are left safely at home.

The casting team will inform you if you will be having a costume fitting for the film or if you are required to bring a selection to your own clothes for filming. Therefore for some jobs, we will ask that you provide your own clothing. For other productions, we will call you to book an appointment in order to try the costume provided by the film. These costume fittings are paid appointments, therefore please treat them as work.

When you work on a film that requires you to be in costume please know that each costume is labelled with a number and you will use the same number to receive your costume each day. SO PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR NUMBER AND CHARACTER. The number and character are usually given to you at your costume fitting. At the end of the filming day please hang up your costume neatly on the hangers and do not remove any of your costume unless instructed from the costume department. Again please be patient and treat the crew with the respect they deserve.

It’s worth noting that your costumes may not always be comfortable - Some productions will need you to be in a costume with very thick fabric, and you may be out in the sun for a long time. Alternatively, you could be in very light costumes in particularly cold conditions. It’s important to remember that the costumes form part of the work that you do, and so maintaining care of the costume is crucial as they often cost a lot of money to the production.

Once on the film set please do not touch or remove any props unless you have been given one. That prop will be your responsibility throughout the day. These must be returned to the prop manager at the end of the filming day.

When you fill out our talent application form, you will see that we require basic details such as your name, ID number and age, contact details such as your mobile/home number, email address and home address, physical stats such as measurements, details on your appearance and any skills you have, and finally your photos, in order to have them uploaded to your profile. The more information you can give us, the better, as some jobs will have specific requirements. If you can provide as much information as possible, then you will have a higher chance of qualifying for the role.
