Booking a Job

After joining Central Casting Agency (CCA), there are several ways to actually get yourself into a movie. Just being in CCA does not secure your spot in a film or television show. There are two main ways to begin booking shoots. First, one can call the recorded job listing line which is provided once registered. How this works is Central Casting will leave a bunch of recordings on their hotline describing scenes and looks that they need filled. On these recordings, the CCA representative will leave another number to actually give the fitting peoples a more in-depth job description (location, scene details, dress, etc). Though, one of the nice perks of working for CCA is that as an employee you are not required to show up to a shoot unless you book that job, leaving as much work flexability as desired for you. This will be very clear, because you will speak to a representative and confirm that you intend to show up. Secondly, one can receive a call from CCA in which they ask you to be in a specific scene that they feel you would be preferable for. This process is the same, except your scene will probably be more promising in terms of being seen in the actual footage because open call bookings are either expecting at least a hundred people to show up or a very defined look for a shoot for whatever reasons. When CCA calls you this also means you have a chance at receiving a Union Voucher for your work, which means nothing untill later except that your pay will increase. When you are called, if you can make it, you most likely should go because they do not always call. Though, the important thing to remember is to show up once booked, because missing that can definately hurt your acceptance for future shoots.
