About Callback
Launched in August 2024, Callback is Asia's first digital casting platform, built to make the casting process faster, safer, and more inclusive. Think of us as LinkedIn, but for actors and filmmakers: a platform where talents can build professional profiles and apply directly to casting jobs, and where filmmakers and businesses can post casting calls and efficiently discover the right talent for their projects.
At our core, we're committed to raising industry standards, fostering tech-forward solutions, and prioritizing safety for both talent and creators through built-in security features. Built on the values of safety, fairness, and community, Callback provides full-stack casting tools to support casting directors, producers, and filmmakers.
More than just a tool, Callback is a movement to professionalize casting in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia. With the rise of international co-productions and increased regional casting, we aim to become the go-to platform for discovering all types of talent—actors, voice artists, hosts, singers, stunt performers, background extras, and more.
Callback is a proud awardee of the Quezon City Government's prestigious Startup QC program and was featured as a participant at the Cannes Film Festival's prestigious Cannes Next. We're supported by the Film Academy of the Philippines, the Quezon City Film Commission, and Launch Garage.
