Backstage
QuickFrame partnered with Backstage to provide our Video Pro Community with casting resources that help streamline the video production process while bringing in new job opportunities to Backstage’s core audience of actors, voiceover artists, models, and content creators, among other production-related jobs.
Brand Story
Backstage is an end-to-end casting platform that makes it easier than ever to hire actors, voiceover artists, content creators, models, and more. Since 1960, they’ve been a trusted resource for talent to find work and for video pros and production teams to make projects happen.
The Partnership
Backstage and QuickFrame want to bring their respective audiences together to exchange resources, streamline the video production process, and scale content creation.
QuickFrame promotes the partnership and refers its users while marketing Backstage as a valuable casting solution with the goal of driving new users and more casting notices to Backstage’s platform. Backstage provides QuickFrame Video Pros with a promo code to gain complimentary access to post casting notices, with additional benefits to maximize output using their feature listing tool.
In combination, QuickFrame Video Pros are provided educational materials that help streamline the video production process and enhance their ability to scale content creation while decreasing production turnaround times.
Jonathan Del Gatto
Founder of Brighter, QuickFrame Video Pro
"Backstage has pretty much become my first stop for casting. It’s super easy and the talent pool is huge. New faces, veterans, you name it. With the QuickFrame partnership, it doesn’t cost me a thing. I use it for almost every project we do at Brighter. It saves me time, I find better people, and I get to spend more energy on the creative instead of chasing down talent. It’s one of those rare no-brainers in production."
Genevieve McGechie
Social Garnish, QuickFrame Video Pro
"QuickFrame's partnership with Backstage has massively helped my ability to find quality actors and content creators that I otherwise might not have had access to. The filtering options make it incredibly easy to find talent that's best suited to the client brief, so I've been able to cast talent for content for reach across the globe. It's so simple to use, and the breadth of talent on the platform is massive. It's saved me so much money too! An essential part of my casting process for sure.”
Patrick Walsh
Playhouse Productions, QuickFrame Video Pro
"Casting can often make or break a project. In UGC specifically, you are not just looking for people who look the part, but also individuals that can film themselves, act independently, and make strong creative choices. Time and time again, I've found that Backstage is the best place to find reliable talent."
