What does Verification mean? #

Verification simply means that we have checked your profile and can confirm you are a professional Actor, CD, or Agent and that you are who you say you are.

Then, when your profile is verified, an orange tick is placed on your Calling Card.

Being verified means that visitors and other users of the site know exactly who they are dealing with. In other words, they know they can trust that the profile is genuine and that the user has good experience in the film industry.

IMPORTANT: if you are an actor you do NOT need to be verified to submit to castings. Verification is an extra and does NOT affect your submissions at all.

As an Actor, why do I need IMDB credits?

The reason we ask for a minimum number of IMDB credits is simple; Casting Directors want to know that you have worked on reasonable sized productions and have experience on set.

If you do not yet have enough IMDB credits, you should chase up previous productions and see if they are on IMDB already and then add yourself to them. You can also think about adding productions as well.
