April 2024 Auckland Castings.

April 2024 Auckland Castings.

BGT is urgently seeking Auckland based people who would love to be on set for paid work on multiple upcoming shoots. Get paid and be part of NZ’s filming industry which is much bigger than you think. Great experience, and something to tick off your bucket list.

 

Unique Faces

It's often the quirkiest of faces that make an impact. Forget the rules of symmetry we want to see distinctive, jarring, and at times off-kilter looks.

Physically fit males and females with no tattoos and no coloured hair! Eek, a hard one for Aotearoa but there must be some of you out there.

 

Androgynous looking people aged 18-30. Show us your pretty face :-)

Males and females of all shapes and sizes that are comfortable being partial or fully nude. All productions involving nudity will follow intimacy filming guidelines under the supervision of an intimacy coordinator. When applying, please use clothed photos ;-) Then make sure you check off partial nudity and/or full nudity under the Skills section.

You must live in Auckland, and have your own transport to get to and from the shoot.

A little bit about us....

BGT Actors Models & Talent is New Zealand’s leading film and TV talent agency established in 1998 by actress, accent coach, and former-casting director Sarah Valentine. When Lord of the Rings fever hit New Zealand, Sarah recruited over 300 extras in preparation. The agency she always wanted to start, to help other people's dreams come true, was then formed as Background Talent. In 2015 a name ‘tweak’ to BGT heralded the new face of a highly regarded agency with an unsurpassed reputation to encompass the three divisions of Actors, Models and Talent/extras.

Based in the thriving hub of West Auckland, right next to Auckland Film Studios, BGT pride itself on a professional, ethical, friendly and attentive approach to talent casting. We supply talent for local and overseas TV series, short and feature films, music videos, documentaries and TV commercials for the national and international markets. If it’s shot in New Zealand, we usually have someone, somewhere being something.
