Talent Coordination

Here is how this works in practice. We supply talent coordinators who look after the cast on Dutch shoots. Our talent coordinators manage performer schedules, contracts and call times, arrange transport, lodging and hospitality, liaise with agents, and act as the production's single point of contact for each cast need from the first fitting to wrap. They work within the CAO collective-labour-agreement framework and set up closely with the assistant directors and production office.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Because the Netherlands ranks first in the world for English proficiency, a talent coordinator can support a global cast and brief Dutch performers, agents and suppliers in English without friction. We match the talent coordinator to the scale of your cast and integrate them with the production from prep so performers are looked after and on time.

Here is the short of it. The Netherlands has a strong, pro acting pool, and a good talent coordinator knows how to keep it well served. Dutch performers such as Rutger Hauer, Carice van Houten, Famke Janssen, Michiel Huisman and Jeroen Krabbé have worked worldwide, and beneath that visible tier is a deep base of theatre-trained character actors. The country's compact geography helps the role — cast travel between home, hotel and set across Amsterdam, Rotterdam and beyond stays short — and its EU and Schengen membership simplifies bringing in performers from neighbouring countries.

We draw on talent coordinators who know both the practical scheduling and the duty of care a cast needs, so performers arrive prepared and the production keeps its talent relationships strong.
