With Noah Taylor, Yael Stone and over 40 MCTV background and featured actors, this one is definitely worth a look. A True Crime Drama following 80 murders, 30 unsolved cases and thousands of assaults in Sydney’s eastern suburbs during the 80’s and 90’s. This four part drama will air on Wednesday October 5 2016 on SBS and be available on catch up after that. You can check out a preview of the series on catch up too.
Following the series, there will be a feature length documentary on Sunday October 16 combined with a ton of online clips and investigations that dig further into the evidence on the sbs website.
We are so happy to hear that Doctor Doctor has been renewed for a second season. MCTV were submitting real doctors for this series as far back as April. Everyone was so keen to be involved but unfortunately there were limited places available in the first season. Let’s hope there are more roles for MCTV talent in season 2.
After only two weeks on air, Essential Media’s Doctor Doctor has been renewed by the Nine Network for a second season.
Two world’s collide in a brand new drama starting Monday on channel 7. Jessica Mauboy takes on classic hits by The Clash, Crowded House and Cold Chisel.
Almost 50 MCTV background actors appear in this brand new series which will hate it’s premiere on the same night as Hyde and Seek.
The Secret Daughter is on Monday night at 9pm on Channel 7 or on catch up after that.
This is the first of two major films we were expecting to start production here in Sydney. This one is the sequel to a huge hollywood blockbuster. That’s the only clue I can give due to strict confidentiality agreements. While the go-see is not for any particular role, it is the way to impress the casting consultant and director of the movie. Do your best guys.
For anyone who is hoping to be picked for this film, please be patient. If you are on our books, we will be sure to put you forward if you fit the brief. We won’t know the details of all the roles that they are casting for for some time yet. If you are thinking about joining our agency, now is a pretty good time. There’s the opportunity with this production and another blockbuster expected really soon.
A Go-See is an opportunity for a talent agency like MCTV to show off their new talent to a client. A Go-See differs from a casting or audition because it is not for any particular role. Sometimes, it is for an upcoming film, but often it is simply a meet and greet between talent and the casting consultant. It gives the casting consultant a chance to see the different looks and personalities of the latest talent. Performing well at the Go-See can lead straight to a role or it may lead to a further casting or audition.
What a great video! Everyone from age 1 through to 60 showing their inner child. Every single one of them was supplied by MCTV and they all did a fantastic job as you can see. Great work Guys!
A Brief (or Casting Brief) is a description of the kind of person that is required for a particular role. It’s almost like a job description. Some of the requirements that might be included are:
For a large film or TV series, there is a casting consultant who reviews the script to work out what roles are needed for each scene. They will then create a brief for each of those roles and send those briefs to a talent agency like MCTV.
Joel Albon-Harris joined our agency over 2 years ago not knowing what to expect. You can see how much he enjoys being a part of our agency from his comments. It’s just one example of Film and TV work he has done with us. Most of the time Joel works in the insurance industry but he works in film and TV whenever he gets a chance. Good on you Joel!
