What does International Casting mean?

International Casting refers to the process of hiring actors from different countries to work on a film, television show, or other media project. This practice is common in global co-productions or projects that require diverse characters and languages. Casting internationally allows filmmakers to bring authenticity to their stories and access a wider pool of talent. It often involves working with local casting agents or conducting remote auditions via video conferencing to find the right actors.

Example: A director works with an international casting agent to hire an actor from Brazil for a role in a movie set in South America.
