What is a Brief?

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:

  • Age
  • Ethnicity
  • Height
  • Hair & Eye Colour
  • Location
  • Dates
  • Experience - Actors
  • Special Skills
  • Pay Rate
  • Gender

What we do when we receive a brief

Once we receive a brief , we check our database for anyone who might fit the brief then check their availability.  Depending on how many people are needed, we will then post on our Facebook page and in our Whatsapp Group.


Fosac brief example

This is an example of a brief we might post. Please read the brief properly and make 100% sure you are available on the date/dates.

Do NOT apply if:

  • You are not sure if you are available.
  • You might have transport issues
  • You do not fit the brief.                                Example: If we are looking for females and you are a male. DO NOT APPLY
  • You do not have the required documents  Example: Original certified copy of your ID no older than 3 months.

Submitting Your Details

Once you have read the brief correctly and are 100% sure you fit the brief,  you can now send us your details. (Each time you apply for a brief you need send them.)

PLEASE make sure that you have a recent photo. If you have dreadlocks in your photo and production booked you, and you show up on set with shaved hair you can be turned away.  And you will NOT be paid.

Check out this blog:  Submitting Photographs




If this is not done correctly, we will not send for approval. 

Please send head and shoulders photo unless otherwise stated.

Submitting details - Fosac

Please Note: Some days we have 300 or more people applying for an extras brief. This makes it difficult to contact everyone. Once Production has sent us the list of people they require, we will contact you if you have been selected. If we don't contact you if means you weren't what Production was looking for. Don't let this discourage you, its not personal and the next brief might be the one for you.
