Can I get hired onto a film set by "just joining"?

Absolutely! When casting directors and producer create casting calls and crew notices on Film Llama, we 'automatically' notify all actors and crew members that fit the criteria. You can then immediately apply for that job, or wait for the next opportunity.

How does Film Llama match me for crew positions and acting roles

When you fill out your profile, you indicate which position you want to get hired for: actor, director, 1st AD, PA, etc. When casting directors and directors publish their casting calls and crew notices, we pull up every profile that matches every criteria specified in the notice - only matches are contacted.

What if I am not looking to get hired, will I still be contacted if I match against a casting call or crew notice?

Nope! In your profile, there is a toggle switch named For Hire. Toggle it off and you won't be notified.
