We’re just like you.
Smart, savvy, and obsessed with video and photo production.

We’ve worked on sets both in front of and behind the camera, so we know what it takes to bring everything together all in the name of the perfect shot.

And we know the kind of talent you want to bring along for the ride.

As previous production coordinators and producers, our team has been in your shoes. We intimately understand the strain and time involved in casting, as a producer. We get it. You’re stressed, and way beyond busy. That’s where we come in. We believe casting is more than handing you a folder of submissions. It’s all in the approach, grace and care that goes with it.

“Put simply, Taylor and the Aura Casting team are the type of people you want on your team. From casting highly specific actors to a few projects with timelines that seemed impossible, project after project, Taylor and his team have delivered results that exceed our expectations. They are quick to respond, highly organized, and easy to work with. I cannot recommend Aura Casting highly enough.”
