Led by an experienced production and casting expert, our team will be your key connector between production and the perfect "original" for your project.

Casting should not be “checking a box”, but should include considerations for non traditional talent. Consider talent from all corners of our social landscape. Your campaigns will be authentically inclusive and your consumers will see it.

Let’s do better. Together we can implement systemic changes within our industry and create a community where Every Body Belongs.

When we stay open to communication for every member of crew and talent on set, we will make authentic advances toward inclusion and lift up voices of those that have been marginalized within our industry.

Here is proof positive our approach works!

We invited Cecelia to an open call for Hasbro. The creative team from the Baby Alive brand wanted to see kids of all shapes, sizes and abilities.

Cecelia performed incredibly at the casting, following direction and showing off her vibrant personality. Those efforts paid off - she was selected for the shoot!

The final images have appeared on the packaging and the Amazon EComm page for Baby Alive.

The feedback from the brand team, the production team and consumers has been incredibly positive.

The production and creative teams from Pottery Barn Kids brand wanted to see kids of a specified age range who used a wheelchair for mobility.

HumanKind went into action mode. Using our contacts on the ground in the San Francisco Bay area of California, we put the word out.

Grady and Alia were selected and participated in the commercial shoot in March.

With feedback from both parents, HumanKind was able to share information vital to the success of future shoots. We are so thankful to the team at Pottery Barn Kids, who took the time to listen, ask questions and create an inclusive environment for everyone on set.
