How it works

From a selfie to the
opening credits.

  1. 01

    Join the studio

    A membership lets you hold an avatar and bid on every film in casting.

  2. 02

    Build your avatar

    Photos of your face, a short voice sample and a live check that it is really you. Then we train your face and voice.

  3. 03

    Bid for the lead

    Each film runs a timed auction. The highest bid when the clock hits zero wins the role.

  4. 04

    Your premiere

    We render your avatar into every shot as the lead, then deliver the master and a private premiere page.

Every avatar is checked against its owner. We never cast a face without consent.

Four ways in

Star in one, own one,
or make your own.

Members

Bid for the lead
