UpCast

Hey everyone! Super excited to launch our product here and hear your feedback. I’m Drew, Founder of UpCast, the first mobile app that lets models and actors actually audition from their phones. Instead of sending outdated and overly photoshopped images, models and actors submit live photos and videos directly to casting professionals, productions, and companies looking for talent. No more sitting in traffic for hours, finding parking and waiting in line only to have a couple photos taken of you. Casting professionals manage submissions and book talent on our user-friendly web app - for free. Whether you’re looking for models for your next photo shoot or actors for a commercial or film, UpCast saves you days of work and potentially thousands of dollars. And if you’re booking off of photos or bringing in talent to audition off those photos, they might as well be current, right? You can see the casting landing page here: https://www.getupcast.com/casting Why did I create UpCast? After attending over 1000 auditions in eight years of modeling and acting in LA and NYC, I grew extremely frustrated with the antiquated casting process and all the associated outdated software. I found myself taking off of work (and losing money) just to attend auditions and the prospect of new opportunities. Each audition meant 3-4 hours of my day mostly spent sitting in my car and at the audition. With our smartphones taking such high-quality pictures, I knew there had to be a better way. So after two years of teaching myself to code, learning the ins and outs of marketing and working with a few startups - I merged my two passions to help others pursue theirs. We’re currently live in the Greater Los Angeles Area and expanding soon. You can sign up here: https://www.getupcast.com
