Review Process

Once we receive your application, our talent development team carefully reviews each submission. We assess your experience, training, and how well your materials align with the types of talent we represent.

Due to the high volume of applications we receive, we cannot respond to every submission. However, if your application catches our attention, you can expect to hear back from us within a few weeks. If you don’t hear from us, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not talented—it may simply be that we already have similar talent on our roster or that we’re not currently seeking your specific skill set.

Encouragement and Advice for Applicants

Don’t Be Discouraged

The entertainment industry is highly competitive, and not being selected right away is not uncommon. It’s important to remember that a variety of factors go into our selection process. If you’re not chosen, it could be due to any number of reasons, such as:

Keep Trying

If you’re passionate about your craft and committed to your career, don’t give up. The industry is dynamic, and what we’re looking for today might change tomorrow. We encourage you to reapply in the future if you gain more experience or if there are changes to your profile that could make you a better fit for our roster.
