For Productions

Find the
real
person.

Genpop is a searchable database of real people — not agency talent. Find who you need by skill, look, size, and location. Or use us to organize talent you’ve already found. No agent overhead. No roster limitations.

Availability

Search by date availability so you’re only looking at people who can actually show up. No chasing dead ends.

01

You find someone

Search the database. Filter by whatever matters for your brief — skill, look, size, location, availability. We surface the right people.

02

Request a callback or self-tape

Ask for a callback — they call you directly. Or send them a self-tape brief and they record something specific for your project.

03

Book directly

Once you’ve found your person, you engage them directly. Genpop doesn’t manage contracts or take a cut. Clean and simple.

Another way to use Genpop

Got a brass band?
We can hold them.

Sometimes you’ve already found your talent — you just need somewhere to organize them properlyso the client can actually see what you’ve got. No more Google Sheets, scattered links, and emailed JPEGs.

Send your talent a Genpop link. They apply. They show up in the system as a linked group — presented cleanly, searchable, downloadable. One place. One link. Everything in order.

1

Randy applies first

The brass band leader fills out his profile. Photos, measurements, skills — everything.

2

He gets a group link

A unique link tied to his application. He sends it to all seven bandmates.

3

The band applies through the link

Each member fills out their own profile. They're all linked to Randy's group automatically.

4

You present the band cleanly

The client sees an eight-person group — photos, bios, sizes — all in one place. No chaos.

Casting Directors

Search for specific skills and looks fast. Request self-tapes directly. Keep talent organized by project.

“We need a telemark skier, 30s, based in Whistler, available next Thursday.”

Ad Agencies

When your brief calls for someone real — not polished agency talent — Genpop is where you look first.

“The client wants authentic. Not a model who looks authentic.”

Photographers & Directors

Find the face that fits the frame. Search by look, location, and availability. Engage directly — no middleman.

“I need a weathered fisherman type, 60s, Lower Mainland.”
