OTT audiences want fresh faces. Help them find yours.
Streaming shows need actors who feel real. ShortCine opens up a talent pool you'll never find through traditional channels.
The rise of streaming created more roles than the industry has systems for. A single show might need 30+ speaking parts. That is a lot of faces, and audiences notice when they see the same ones over and over.
OTT casting is different from film. Briefs are more specific: showrunners want someone who feels authentic to a specific city or background. You need to search deeper than your existing network.
You are usually casting multiple roles at once, with different directors who all have opinions. The work alone can bury you.
Granular Search

Fresh Talent
Thousands of actors with theater backgrounds and regional experience who are ready for their first big break.
“We cast an 8-episode series with 22 speaking roles. A third were actors we found through ShortCine who had no prior OTT credits. The showrunner loved them.”

Frequently asked questions
How do I cast talent for an OTT or web series?+
Search ShortCine's pool of verified actors by city, language, age, and experience to find people who feel authentic to each role, then build shortlists you can share with your directors for feedback.
How do I find fresh faces instead of the same actors audiences keep seeing?+
ShortCine surfaces actors with theater and regional backgrounds who may have no prior OTT credits, so you can cast the new faces streaming audiences respond to rather than recycling your existing network.
Can I manage casting for many roles across a series at once?+
Yes. You can create a shortlist for every role and share them with different directors, which keeps casting for a show with dozens of speaking parts organized in one place.
