Professional routing for casting, talent, and partnerships.
One monitored inbox — messages with clear context skip repetitive FAQ loops. Use the inquiry form below or email directly if you already know your brief.
How inquiries are routed
Velvet maintains a shared inbox monitored by casting producers and studio leads. Messages that arrive with usable context skip the FAQ loop — include who you are, what outcome you want, and when your deadline bites. Pakistani production calendars compress quickly around religious holidays and cricket broadcasts; mentioning hard dates saves everyone back-and-forth.
WhatsApp escalation exists for verified active shoots once contracts reference Velvet talent — unsolicited WhatsApp audition requests are discouraged to prevent scams; always confirm desk email threads first.
Typical response expectations
- Talent applications: acknowledgement within two business days; substantive feedback varies by queue depth.
- Producer briefs: actively casting projects usually hear within one business day with availability-backed options when possible.
- Partnerships / press: routed weekly — urgent festival sponsorships note timing in subject lines.
Copy-ready checklist — talent submissions
- Subject line: "Talent intro — [City] — [Fashion / Drama / Ads]"
- Attach or link uncompressed stills plus one vertical reel under 60 seconds.
- List wardrobe sizes only if fashion or bridal work is a serious goal.
- Mention conflicts: exams, employment, travel limits — prevents double-bookings.
Producer / brand essentials
- Include contract type (buyout, episodic, days) even if tentative.
- Share reference frames or mood films — aligns shortlist faster.
- Note minors on set policies if your script requires youth scenes — we advise compliance early.

Trust & safety notes you should know upfront
Sets & consent
Wardrobe boundaries and closure options appear on call sheets; photographers and directors brief Velvet protocols before arrival.
Data handling

Cross-border shoots
Visa timelines and per-diem bands are validated before confirming talent — preventing stranded bookings when paperwork slips.
