ABOUT US
Professional casting support for film, television and commercials across South Africa — built on integrity, transparency, and respect for talent.
Professional is not a label you give yourself. It's a description you hope others will apply to you.”
— David Maister

Our Journey


FOSAC Castings began as an extension of a deep involvement in South Africa’s creative and entertainment industry, originally rooted in the management and support of local comedy talent. What started as a passion for showcasing performers grew into a broader commitment to creating professional, respectful opportunities across film, television and commercial productions.

As our work expanded, so did our understanding of the challenges faced by both productions and performers — particularly background actors navigating an often inconsistent and unclear system. This led to the natural evolution of FOSAC into a casting agency focused not only on placing talent, but on improving communication, standards and on-set experiences for everyone involved.

We strongly believe that a healthier industry depends on informed, supported and continuously developing talent. This belief has shaped our approach to casting and has also driven the development of an upcoming educational and industry-focused platform designed to benefit both performers and production teams through guidance, resources and shared industry insight.

Today, FOSAC Castings operates across Durban, Johannesburg and nationwide, supplying reliable, professional talent while contributing to long-term industry growth through advocacy, education and collaboration. Our journey continues to be guided by experience, responsibility and a commitment to strengthening the industry as a whole.

What We Stand For

At FOSAC Castings, our work is guided by clear principles that shape how we engage with talent, productions and the wider industry. These values inform every booking, communication and decision we make.

Professionalism - We believe professionalism is the foundation of a successful production. This includes clear communication, punctuality, accountability and respect for everyone on set.                                              

Respect for Talent - Every performer deserves to be treated with dignity, honesty and fairness. We are committed to ensuring talent understand expectations, conditions and processes, and feel supported throughout their work.

Transparency & Clarity - We prioritise clear information around bookings, rates and requirements. Transparency protects both talent and productions, and helps prevent misunderstandings or exploitation.                     

Collaboration -Strong relationships between agencies, production teams and performers are essential. We work collaboratively to ensure smooth operations from casting through to wrap.                                         

Industry Responsibility - We recognise our role extends beyond casting alone. We actively support ethical practices, education and improved standards that contribute to a healthier, more sustainable industry.                     

Education & Advocacy

FOSAC Castings is committed to supporting a more informed and professional industry. We believe that education, clear standards and access to accurate information benefit both performers and production teams.
