A simpler, smarter Casting Networks alternative.
Casting Networks is a known name, mostly tuned for the US and agency submissions. ShortCine brings AI casting and a workflow built for India.
Casting Networks has been around a long time, and a lot of it is shaped around the US market and agency-driven submissions. If you're casting in India, plenty of that simply doesn't fit how you work.
ShortCine is modern by default. Upload a poster and AI builds the casting call, search talent in plain language, and shortlist with your team in real time.
Talent joins free, so your search pool keeps growing. No enterprise pricing, no week-long setup before you can post a single role.
