Posting a Crew Call
Put out a job, reach the right crew, and start receiving submissions.
A Crew Call is how you hire. You describe the role and the shoot; the right crew find it in Scout and via Job Alerts, and submit.
Create the call
From My Crew Calls, tap Post a Call and fill in:
- Project title and role (pick the department and role you're hiring).
- Description — the work, the project, and what you're looking for.
- Location and shoot dates.
- Rate — day rate or project rate, and the amount.
- Urgency — from *Open Call* to *Hot Set* for something urgent.
- Slots — how many people you need.
Casting calls
If you're casting an actor, toggle Casting call and add the character details. You can require a self-tape so actors submit a reading.
Publish or save as draft
- Publish (Now Casting) — the call goes live and starts accepting submissions immediately.
- Save as Draft — keep it *In Development* until you're ready.
Manage the lifecycle
As things progress you can move a call through Now Casting → Crew Locked → Wrapped / In the Can, edit it, or duplicate it to post a similar role quickly.
