Startup Idea: Centralized Casting Database Software
I work in extra's casting, and there is currently not a useful software available that allows people to submit their headshots, measurements, talents, and contact information to one place for storage in a larger database. As it currently stands, each casting company must make their own website/service with their own form of database and data collection program. It is extremely inconvenient and expensive. Often times, small casting companies do not have the resources to create intuitive websites, so they end up having very poor systems developed that have to have entries manually entered by an employee.
In short, I would like to see a program available for purchase that allows any user working from any computer to submit all of their relevant acting information into a database that is easily searchable and easily organized. No, I haven't done much research on it for a while.
