How it works

From profile to
first booking.

01

Build your presence

Upload your intro video, demo reel, and social links. Buyers see what you can do — not just what your agent allows them to see.

  • Intro video
  • Demo reel
  • Instagram handle
  • Language
02

Post or browse projects

Buyers post project briefs — film, stage, brand deals, theater. You post your availability and what you're looking for. Both sides visible.

  • Theatre & stage
  • Brand campaigns
  • Short films
  • Transnational
03

Connect directly

Chat in-app. When both sides want to meet, our AI prompts a Letter of Intent — protecting both parties before the first call.

  • In-app DMs
  • LOA signing
  • Meeting scheduler
  • Reminders
04

Work across borders

Language translation built in. Book work in Singapore, Mumbai, or Los Angeles — all from one platform. No visa headaches.

  • Multi-language
  • Global scope
  • Daily reminders
  • Pro matching

Platform features

Built for both sides
of the table.

AI-Powered Matching

Pro buyers get curated top-10 talent recommendations every week. The AI reads social signals, booking history, and fit — not just keyword tags.

$50 / week Pro tier

LOA Workflow

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.

$50 from each party

Smart DM Automation

Our AI monitors the chat. When buyers or sellers express intent to meet, the LOA prompt triggers automatically. No awkward asking, no dropped leads.

AI-driven prompts

Global Language Support

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.

30+ languages

Automated Reminders

Once a meeting is scheduled, daily reminders go out to both parties. No ghosting, no missed calls, no wasted time on either side.

Email reminders

— Rachel Loh, Founder
Philosophy

No gatekeepers. No geography. No glass ceiling for non-union talent.

Approach

Direct relationships over agency middlemen. Signal over noise.

Vision

A world where the best talent gets found — not the best-connected.

Your next role
is one conversation away.
