Not all productions are the same, some offer food and refreshments and some do not. The casting team will inform you upon booking if you need to bring any food with you. When catering is provided then of course there is no need to bring food along (unless you have a particular dietary requirement). As the film crew always eats first, please wait patiently until you are told to go for your meal.

Immediately before and after actual filming you will hear the following instructions spoken by the assistant directors:

• “Standby” – Take your position allocated by the Assistant Director and keep very still and quiet.

• “Turn Over “ or “Rolling” – The camera begins filming.

• “Action” or “Background Action” – Your cue to start your action

• “Cut” – Action ends. It is likely that a sequence of filming will be repeated several times, therefore, following the word CUT you should remain silent and await further instructions.

• “Reset”, “First Positions” or “Number Ones” – Resume your original start position ready for another take.

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.

We are constantly looking for new and exciting talent in any shape or form! And the best thing is, no experience is necessary. We have profiles from actors, models, musicians, dancers - the list is endless! Always be sure to highlight any talents or special skills you have in the skills section of the application form, because you never know what kind of job will come up next!

If you want to start working in film, television or theatre in Malta - wait no further!

Updating your photos, periodically is a good idea. Recent photos give us a clearer picture of what you look like now. If all your other information has remained the same but you would like to send us updated photos you do not need to fill in the full application again, all you need to do is log into your profile and update your photos!

We open the application form periodically. If you happen to learn about us in a period when the application is closed all you need to do is send us your email here so we can let you know when we have reopened. Easy!

Each production takes different approaches to COVID regulations and a briefing will be given to you prior to filming. However here is a general idea of the regulations in place:

Face coverings

• Face coverings must be worn at all times. Face coverings must cover mouth and nose at all times.

• Do not remove them until requested by an AD.

• Replace them as soon as filming stops and told to do so by an AD.

• If you lose a face covering, replacements are available at all locations. Replace as soon as it becomes damp.

Social Distancing

• Keep 2m from one another at all times, including when eating, drinking, smoking/vaping, queuing to be brought on to set.

• If put into groups by the AD team, stick to these groups for the full day.

• Social distance from all persons not a part of the production.

Hygiene

• Wash hands regularly with soap and water or make use of the hand sanitiser stations around all locations.

• Wash hands before entering onto a set and when stepping off.

• Wash hands before getting a face covering.

• Do not shake hands with one another.

Main Symptoms*

• Elevated temperature i.e. over 37.2°C

• New, continuous cough

• Loss of sense of smell or taste

• If you begin to feel unwell or show any symptoms of COVID-19, ensure you are wearing a face

  covering and alert an AD or unit nurse/medic immediately.

• Your temperatures will be checked each day before starting work by production.
