Carla felt inspired to Start Slick Casting after experiencing as part of the production team, large workloads, particularly when it comes to casting and crowd management.  

Since 2016, Carla and her team have been “easing production’s pressures and budgets” by enabling them to “focus on being on the set while we take the scripts and schedules and focus on getting the crowd”, which sometimes comprises 100 people a day.  As well as leveraging its huge supporting artist database, Slick Casting also scouts for new candidates that fit specific briefs. This practice is called “street casting”, although very little of it takes place in the physical world nowadays. 

Carla has Project Managed over 200 exciting productions via Slick Casting and offers tailored casting services to individual clients and on set help is available on request.
