Backyard Open Casting is officially arriving in Australia.
Rooted in South Africa, Backyard Open Casting is creating a movement. By shifting the focus away from traditional scouting and rather towards individuality, and cultural relevance.
Embracing a range of identity, welcoming both undiscovered faces and those already recognised within digital communities.
In doing so, Backyard redefines what it means to be seen.
At its core, the movement is about access and representation - bringing together the unknown and the familiar in one space.
Melbourne’s Open Casting is here, 2nd May.
Submissions opening soon.
Make Noise, Not Friends 🔊🐺
