Direct marketplace for creative talent
UpStage connects non-union actors, creators, and performers directly with producers and brands — no agents, no gatekeepers, no noise. Just work.
How it works
Upload your intro video, demo reel, and social links. Buyers see what you can do — not just what your agent allows them to see.
Buyers post project briefs — film, stage, brand deals, theater. You post your availability and what you're looking for. Both sides visible.
Chat in-app. When both sides want to meet, our AI prompts a Letter of Intent — protecting both parties before the first call.
Language translation built in. Book work in Singapore, Mumbai, or Los Angeles — all from one platform. No visa headaches.
Platform features
Pro buyers get curated top-10 talent recommendations every week. The AI reads social signals, booking history, and fit — not just keyword tags.
Before any meet-and-greet, both buyer and seller sign a Letter of Intent — auto-generated, emailed, legally structured. No more dropped calls with no skin in the game.
Our AI monitors the chat. When buyers or sellers express intent to meet, the LOA prompt triggers automatically. No awkward asking, no dropped leads.
Built-in translation across 30+ languages. A producer in Singapore can find and book talent in Lagos, Seoul, or São Paulo — without anyone needing to speak the same language first.
Once a meeting is scheduled, daily reminders go out to both parties. No ghosting, no missed calls, no wasted time on either side.
Create and promote UpStage in your community — earn 70% off 6 months of subscription and in-app purchases. The more creators spread the word, the faster the flywheel turns.
