Casting Directors
Expert casting services drawing from Poland's distinguished acting tradition, renowned for the emotional depth and technical skill of its performers.
A casting director identifies and selects the actors who will bring a script's characters to life. Poland has one of Europe's most respected acting traditions, with performers trained at the National Film School in Łódź (PWSFTviT), the Aleksander Zelwerowicz National Academy in Warsaw, and the AST National Academy in Kraków. Polish actors are celebrated for their psychological depth and physical discipline, shaped by a theatrical heritage that includes Grotowski's legendary laboratory theatre and a film tradition that has produced numerous award-winning performances.
We connect you with casting directors who have deep relationships within Poland's acting community. Our network covers talent agencies in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, and Gdańsk, with access to Polish Film Institute casting resources and performers experienced in both acclaimed Polish art-house cinema and international co-productions.

Local Knowledge
Deep connections to casting communities in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, and Gdańsk. We coordinate auditions at professional facilities across Polish Film Institute-supported production regions, from Łódź's historic studio complex to Warsaw's contemporary production hubs.
Bilingual Casting Capability
We specialize in Polish-English bilingual casting, sourcing actors who perform fluently in both languages. Poland's growing international production scene has expanded the bilingual talent pool, and we also access performers fluent in German, Russian, and Ukrainian.
Casting Expertise
What types of casting do you handle?
We provide complete casting services including principal roles (leads, supporting), day players, background artists, and specialty casting (stunts, dancers, musicians). Our casting directors have experience across features, television, commercials, and branded content.
Can you find English-speaking Polish actors?
Yes, our database includes Polish actors fluent in English, with a growing pool thanks to Poland's increasing international production activity. We also source performers fluent in German, Russian, Ukrainian, and Czech for Central and Eastern European co-productions.
How do you handle auditions?
We offer flexible audition options including in-person sessions at professional casting facilities in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, and Łódź, self-tape coordination with quality control, and live video auditions for remote directors. All sessions can be recorded for review.
What about background and extras casting?
We maintain databases of background artists across Poland and can source specific types, looks, and skills as needed. For large crowd scenes, we coordinate casting calls and manage extras on shoot days through our AD network.
How far in advance should we start casting?
For principal roles on features, start 8-12 weeks before shooting to allow time for submissions, auditions, callbacks, and deal-making. Supporting roles need 4-6 weeks. Background casting can be arranged more quickly, typically 2-3 weeks.
Do you handle talent contracts and negotiations?
Yes, our casting directors work with agents and managers on deal negotiations, ensuring terms work for your budget while meeting Polish industry standards. We coordinate with your production legal team on contract finalization.
