Talking about how he came up with the idea of the app, Manit Bhatia, Founder and CEO, Act It Out said, “Being an aspiring actor myself and spending a few years in Mumbai trying to pursue my acting dreams, I realized the dilemma of struggling actors. One has to sweat it out in long queues for an audition, and at times people are sent back without the audition. Sometimes you also end up paying lot of money to casting agencies but never receive any response. For the production houses also, finding the right talent amongst the plethora of applications is not easy. This app – Act It Out – uses technology with an aim to organize the audition process and address many such issues.”
“New trends in the Indian film industry, growth of regional film industry and advent of web series has been a boon for many aspiring actors and directors. They have many more avenues to present their acting talent”, added Manit.
Some of the leading production houses Act it Out is associated with include – GirlsXP, Miracle Lens, Rundime Business Pvt. Ltd, Take One Casting, Bluewinds Entertainment, Theatre Army Films, Amit Sharma (Freelance Casting director), Add Factory Films, Oneness Casting Hub, Emoticons Casting and many more independent Casting directors.
