Accelerating Global Casting: IMDbPro Partners with International Casting Directors Association
In an exciting development for the entertainment industry, IMDbPro has teamed up with the International Casting Directors Association (ICDA) to streamline the global casting process. This partnership aims to provide ICDA members with access to IMDbPro Premium, allowing them to discover talent and cast projects from all corners of the world.
Nikki Santoro, CEO of IMDb, expressed enthusiasm for this collaboration, stating, “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our commitment to empowering casting directors and industry decision-makers in their quest for exceptional talent.” With IMDbPro Premium, ICDA members can now tap into a vast pool of diverse talent, fostering the creation of richer and more dynamic international productions.
As part of this collaboration, IMDbPro has introduced new features, including the display of the ICDA logo on the IMDb and IMDbPro profile pages of its members. This enhancement simplifies the discovery process for ICDA members and increases their visibility through IMDbPro’s advanced filters.
Lana Veenker, President of the ICDA, emphasized the importance of effective casting, saying, “Casting international projects demands skill, knowledge, and a comprehensive toolkit to identify the best actors for each role. IMDbPro Premium significantly enhances our ability to efficiently discover talent for global productions, opening up new avenues for actors and filmmakers worldwide.”
With IMDbPro Premium, industry professionals are empowered to manage their profiles effectively. Members can update their IMDb and IMDbPro pages with essential information such as contact details, representation, photos, demo reels, primary professions, “Known For” credits, guild memberships, demographic information, physical attributes, and much more.
This collaboration between IMDbPro and the ICDA not only enhances the casting process but also enriches the filmmaking landscape by connecting talented actors with opportunities across the globe.
