Your support for a fair casting infrastructure
etalenta’s supporting membership is open to all professional players in the casting industry.
The more supporting members finance the platform, the better we can maintain or further reduce the low-cost coverage contribution.
If the platform receives more in membership fees than necessary, we are legally obliged to transfer these surpluses exclusively to the non-profit organisation etalenta gGmbH.
Why should I become a supporting member?
- Access to actresses and actors is essential for the film industry.
- Actresses and actors must be visible in the entire casting industry – without financial barriers.
- Actresses and actors should not be forced into commercial platform models for the chance to get a job.
- As part of the cultural and creative industries, actresses and actors do not fit structurally into the classic subscription and platform models we may know from the private sector.
- Europe as a film location needs a fair, transparent source that is equally accessible to all casting directors, actresses, actors and all filmmakers – free from commercial interests.
- When platforms turn visibility, hope and access to jobs into business models, this does not do justice to the reality of actresses and actors.
Our solution: Non-profit instead of profit-orientated
- etalenta is the source for the entire European casting industry – and the alternative to commercial platforms and business models.
- etalenta is a non-profit organisation – no profit is made either from the hopes of actresses and actors or from the projects and roles on offer. Any surpluses go exclusively to the non-profit organisation etalenta gGmbH.
- We are financed by the contributions of our supporting members and use them to cover our costs for staff, technical infrastructure and administration.
- We offer all actresses and actors the opportunity to present themselves to the industry, including a CV, photos and showreel in full HD – there are no costs for pure visibility and presence with an online profile.
- etalenta can be used in 20 European languages, for maximum distribution in the European film industry – without any language barriers.
What your support does
- You strengthen a neutral, transparent infrastructure for the film industry
- You promote diversity and participation by co-financing fair conditions
- You take a stand, especially towards actresses and actors, your partners and clients
- You support a functioning system that works independently of income or platform monopoly
