Edited

This article explains how to create and publish a new project on Casting Networks. We will walk you through setting up your project details, adding roles, and publishing your breakdown to begin the casting process.


Creating a New Project

  1. Click New Project

    A screenshot of the "Projects List" page on the Casting Networks website. The page features a dark blue header bar with the "Casting Networks" logo. Below the header, the text "**Projects List**" is displayed. A prominent red arrow points from the text to a bright blue button on the right, which is outlined in red, and labeled "**New Project**." The button is intended to create a new project.

  2. Enter project information. (Note: required information will be denoted with an asterisk)

  3. Click Save Project and Add Role

    A solid blue rectangular button with rounded corners. The white text on the button reads: "**Save Project and Add Role**".

  4. Enter role information including any audition information or submission requirements, as well as your publication settings.

  5. Click Save and Add Another Role to continue creating roles or Save and Go to Project Overview to review and publish. 

    Two buttons displayed side-by-side: on the left, a white button with a light blue border and light blue text that reads "**Save and Go to Project Overview**"; on the right, a solid light blue button with white text that reads "**Save and Add Another Role**".

  6. When on the Project Overview, click Publish

    A screenshot of a project overview page titled "**Marvel Movie**" in a casting application. The project navigation tabs visible are: **Overview**, **Submissions**, **Requests**, **Schedules**, **Audition Media**, **Presentations**, and **Worksheet**. The project details show it is **Active** | **Feature Film** | **Non Union**. There are two buttons on the right: a white-bordered button labeled "**New Role**" and a solid blue dropdown button labeled "**Publish**". A red arrow points directly from the main content area towards the "**Publish**" button, which is highlighted with a red box.

  7. Select Publish.

    • You will be able to include a message to talent representatives or to talent, depending on your publication settings for these roles.

  8. Click Publish

    A dialog box titled "**Publish Role**" with a text field containing the message "**Please submit ASAP!**" under the heading "**Message to Talent**." Below this, the section "**The following roles will be published**" lists "**Not Yet Published (1)**" followed by the role name "**Hero**." At the bottom right, a red arrow points to a bright blue button, outlined in red, labeled "**Publish**."

Checking Project Status

  • Helpful Tip: You can always refer to the “Projects List” or the Project Overview to view the status of any of your projects. Your project will appear as Active if you have published roles in the project or Not Yet Published if you have yet to do so.
