Flairbox's mission is to provide undiscovered actors with the opportunity to be seen by industry professionals, no matter who they are or where they're from.
FlairBox is an online platform to connect performers, agents and casting directors. It allows actors to upload videos of themselves performing and then uses an algorithm, based on interaction, to rank the videos. This creates a feed of videos for casting directors, prioritising the most relevant at the top.
In the past year, FlairBox has become became a complete, end-to-end casting tool and has made it free for actors to use. It also reached 5000 new actors and hired new staff, and plans to continue this growth throughout the coming years.
Its focus on video rather than CVs or headshots is what sets FlairBox apart from other casting websites and will help the company to achieve its growth goals. The platform hopes to level the playing field for actors, placing an emphasis solely on acting ability.
