Casting opportunities for first team students

First team will continue to offer more and new services to the students. First team updates their database regularly. More than 800 hundred actors have participated in the foundation. Send your updated resumes and photos to first team. Very often we show and send materials to professionals in the film industry. Different organizations, directors, agents, managers and production companies often ask first team for actors. First team is pleased to provide students a chance to work as an actor through the foundation. Many students signed with managers or agents through the foundation and directors have hired first team students. A recent example is the young movie director Diego Sanchidrián. He has chosen the popular actor Javier Martín and several first team students to work in his next short film, “GPS”. Sanchidrián’s last short film, “El hilo de oro”, was chosen to represent Spain in the prestigious Manhattan Short Film Festival in New York.
