[QUOTE=IronFist;1165960]Are you hiring ninjas or just kung fu guys?[/QUOTE]
All kind of martialartist are allowed to join, it will be a community full of fighters that can show their talent to the world.
So they can be found by producers/directors.
It will be great!
So… this thing is just starting to kick off, then? Sort of like LinkedIn for MA guys/gals?
[QUOTE=Drake;1165971]So… this thing is just starting to kick off, then? Sort of like LinkedIn for MA guys/gals?[/QUOTE]
yes it is some sort of LinkedIn specially for martial artists that are interested in acting in movies.
Well, best of luck to you! Who knows… this could help streamline casting for movies, letting filmmakers find a specific person instead of going through the general thespian public.
There are a few of these out there tailored to specific groups. It’s how like minded peeps get together to share info and make friends.
Where do I post my background/experience?

[QUOTE=GeneChing;1165993]Even Google can’t beat facebook.
Remember iMartial? :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
Hello, you have a good point over there but
the goal in this case is not beating facebook or any other social network but the goal of this network is to create opportunities for Martialartist to present themself for Movie castings.
This system has been made because there are Movie Casting websites, but there is no Casting site that focuses on Martial artist.
So the concept in this case is a very good one.
There are also different kind of accounts that people can register.
people can register as Actor
people can register as Producer/Director
people can register as Figurant
people can register as Bit Player
(So this is not really an social network with the same goal as facebook, but the main goal is creating opportunities for actors to meet producers etc..)
I don’t mean to be a wet blanket, KungfuCasting.
I actually support what you’re trying to do. However, remember martialartscasting.com and www.martialartstalent.com? Both of those got some early buzz and both are down now. How will your model differ from those previous ones?
BTW, iMartial is actually still going. It was built mostly as a tournament registration site and still functions in that capacity within the sport karate circles. It just never had that much crossover to the CMA here, despite our efforts.

hi,
I have not seen those websites before, but I think that the possible problems that they might possibly have been :
I am sure, that the above things won’t happen with me.
I will also personally contact some producers and directors soon so they also know that this system exists.
were those websites using the same kind of system as KungfuCasting?
Uh, don’t mean to be a nudge-nik but who exactly besides the member are seeing this site. Both martial casting sites had actual job postings.
[QUOTE=KungfuCasting;1166008]I will also personally contact some producers and directors soon so they also know that this system exists.[/QUOTE]
That’s a key point right there. A lot of casting agents are going to online talent pools but there are services like 24/7 Casting run by Heinz Productions that offers direct bookings. It’s a yearly subscription but casting agents and directors use it to find talent so it’s worth the small fee.
Try to pull in casting agents and directors and set up a “casting now” section, at least for student film and spec work for starters.

I don’t see the page you have pictured. I went into Profile Edit but I guess that’s a different page. Can’t seem to find the one you show.
Ok, found it. I signed off and back on again and clicked on my name. Not readily apparent or user friendly. I expected to find it under Profile Edit.
