Casting Directors
Expert casting services across Peru's diverse talent landscape, from Lima's cosmopolitan acting scene to authentic Indigenous performers in the Andes.
A casting director identifies and selects the actors who will bring a script's characters to life. Peru's growing film industry reflects the country's remarkable cultural diversity, with actors bringing influences from the coastal urban culture of Lima, the Andean highland traditions of Cusco and Arequipa, and the Amazonian communities of Iquitos. Peruvian performers trained at ENSAD (National School of Dramatic Art) and Lima's independent theater companies bring a raw authenticity valued by international filmmakers.
We connect you with casting directors who navigate Peru's diverse talent pool. Our network covers agencies in Lima, Cusco, and Arequipa, with access to PromPerú Film Commission casting resources and specialists in sourcing authentic Indigenous performers, Afro-Peruvian talent, and the cosmopolitan actors of Lima's Miraflores and Barranco creative districts.

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 Peruvian actors?
Yes, our database includes Peruvian actors fluent in Spanish and English. Lima's cosmopolitan population provides a strong pool of bilingual performers. We also source talent fluent in Quechua, Aymara, and other Indigenous languages for culturally authentic casting.
How do you handle auditions?
We offer flexible audition options including in-person sessions at professional casting facilities in Lima and Cusco, 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 Peru 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 Peruvian industry standards. We coordinate with your production legal team on contract finalization.
