Information silos are a risk to TV productions. To break down these silos, production teams need a tool that makes it easy to store important information, that can be updated and accessed reliably from anywhere on any device.

Casting for specialist contributors, unlike reality TV shows, is completely targeted.

So, how do you find your cast and how can technology support you?

Lumi’s application and registration module is cutting-edge tech that makes applying easy, and gives your team control over every step of the process. Producers will love how easy it is to view, sort, rate and communicate with applicants – and know that the information captured during casting is available through production and beyond.

How do your contestants currently apply to be part of a show? Is the application process inviting? Is it a rich and seamless one? Does the process truly reflect your show’s brand and energy? Does the application process give contestants the chance to really shine?
