Casting Services
Professional casting for actors, models, and extras across all production types.
Casting services manage the process of finding, auditioning, and selecting performers for a production's speaking roles, background, and specialty positions. Serbia's film industry — with a tradition stretching from Emir Kusturica to contemporary directors recognized at Cannes and Berlin — offers talented performers trained at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, with growing international co-production experience.
We coordinate casting services including talent searches, audition space booking, and session management across Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Niš. Our team connects you with Serbian casting directors who have deep relationships with the country's talent community and broader Balkan performance networks, accessing performers from Belgrade's vibrant theatrical scene and the former Yugoslav talent pool.

On Location
Casting from Belgrade's deep theatrical bench, with Faculty of Dramatic Arts graduates, National Theatre performers and a Balkan-wide talent network feeding roles for productions filming anywhere in Serbia.
Here is how this works in practice. We set up casting across the full range of a production's needs, from leads and supporting roles to specialty performers and large background units. Our casting directors brief from your script, build character breakdowns and run searches through Belgrade's agency networks and their own relationships with stage and screen actors. We arrange audition space in central Belgrade, manage scheduling and self-tape submissions, record callbacks professionally and present you with a tightly edited shortlist rather than an unfiltered pile.
Here is the short of it. For global productions we handle work-permit paperwork. Because Serbia is an EU candidate but outside the Schengen Area, we plan inbound travel for foreign principals to match. We negotiate performer agreements, set up wardrobe fittings and rehearsal calls, and keep talent records ordered so it reconciles cleanly with the Film in Serbia cash rebate. This credits 25 to 30 percent of qualifying Serbian spend including locally engaged cast. For crowd scenes we run mass background calls and manage period-specific extras across Belgrade and Novi Sad.
Here is the breakdown. Serbia's casting depth rests on a genuinely serious performance culture. The Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade has trained generations of actors. The city's National Theatre and independent stages keep a working ensemble busy year-round. Serbian and Yugoslav cinema is worldwide celebrated, with Emir Kusturica a two-time Palme d'Or winner for 'When Father Was Away on Business' and 'Underground', and the Yugoslav Black Wave led by Dusan Makavejev still studied worldwide. Ralph Fiennes's 'Coriolanus' drew on Belgrade locations and local performers.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. The growing roster of global features and series shooting in Serbia has given actors here real experience with foreign crews and English-language work. The shared linguistic ground across the former Yugoslavia means Serbian performers can also read across the wider Balkan region. Our casting directors tap networks reaching into neighbouring countries when a role calls for it. English is widely spoken in the industry, which keeps audition logistics straightforward for visiting directors.
