Through our partnership with Castingofka, a prominent casting agency in Prague, students are registered in a talent database as soon as they begin their studies. This collaboration provides immediate exposure to real casting opportunities, allowing students to start building their careers while they are still in school.
What is Castingofka?
Castingofka is a leading casting agency in Prague that connects filmmakers with a wide range of acting talent for films, television shows, commercials and more. The agency has a broad network of clients and projects, ranging from local productions to large-scale international films shot in Prague. Castingofka’s reputation as a trusted resource in the film industry means that students registered with the agency gain visibility to both local and global projects.
Early Access to Professional Opportunities
Through the Castingofka partnership, students are entered into the casting agency’s database from the moment they enroll at Prague Film Institute. This ensures that even as students work on their acting skills in the classroom, they are already visible to casting directors and filmmakers. This immediate connection to industry professionals allows students to audition for a variety of roles — from student films and independent productions to larger commercial projects — all while they are still pursuing their studies.
Being part of Castingofka’s database gives students a unique advantage: they have the chance to experience real-world casting processes early in their academic journey. Instead of waiting until after graduation to pursue acting opportunities, students are already building their resumes and working alongside established professionals in the industry.
Real-World Preparation
The Castingofka partnership also plays a vital role in how our film school prepares students for the realities of the acting world. While being registered with the agency opens doors to casting opportunities, students also benefit from comprehensive training at school. This training helps them present themselves confidently in auditions, respond to casting calls effectively, and navigate the demands of working in the film industry.
Our curriculum is designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and practical application. Students receive hands-on experience through workshops, mock auditions, and guidance on how to succeed in a professional setting.
Building Professional Networks Early
One of the most valuable aspects of this partnership is the networking opportunity it provides. Castingofka has built strong relationships within the Czech and international film communities, and by being part of this network, our film students are introduced to casting directors, filmmakers and other professionals who can play an important role in shaping their careers. This early networking is crucial for young actors. Building connections while still in school allows students to form relationships with professionals they may collaborate with in the future.
A Competitive Edge in a Global Market
The Castingofka partnership positions students for success in an increasingly competitive global market. Prague has become a major hub for international film productions, attracting directors and producers from around the world. By being part of Castingofka’s network, students are well-placed to audition for roles in both local and international productions, giving them a significant advantage as they enter the acting profession.
