Overview
After receiving a large volume of submissions, we carefully narrowed the list down to a select group of standout talent. Each finalist was chosen not just for appearance, but for their ability to embody the playful yet intense energy of “HEY CURTIS.” The result was a cast lineup that elevated the video’s storytelling and visual aesthetic.
For this project, we partnered closely with Dave Blunts’ team to manage the entire casting process. Our task wasn’t just about finding models who looked the part—it was about curating individuals who could carry the charisma, energy, and presence needed to make the video come alive.

The Challenge
The greatest challenge came from the sheer volume of submissions—hundreds of hopefuls all vying for limited roles. Each submission required thoughtful review to avoid missing strong candidates who could contribute to the project’s success.
On top of the volume, decisions had to be made quickly. The production timeline demanded fast turnarounds, which meant balancing speed with accuracy while ensuring the director’s vision wasn’t compromised.

The Solution
To streamline the process, we developed a clear role breakdown that outlined specific physical traits, personalities, and screen presence requirements. This acted as a filter, allowing us to sort through applicants quickly and effectively.
By collaborating directly with the director, we refined the shortlist to ensure every cast member aligned with the creative vision. This teamwork guaranteed that the final cast not only looked the part but also brought authentic energy to the screen.
