Success Stories

I have only been with Starnow for about 6 months, and so far have been a paid extra on the mini series Power Games and recently the new Australian series Wonderland.

A week after joining StarNow I was an extra in the Channel 4 Show "Freshmeat" also I landed my own agent!

In 2015 I was scouted for a Professional Actors Masterclass in Hollywood where I was fortunate enough to audition for over 25 of the worlds top casting directors. The 5 week course covered everything I needed to know about auditioning, script analysis, characters, headshots, showreels and self promotion.

I auditioned for a lead role for short film through starnow for the New York Film Academy and got it. After it was done I went to the premier for it and it got a great applause. I recently found out it's been accepted into the Princeton Student Film Festival over in the U.S. People in a whole other country will be watching me. Thanks Starnow!!

Being a part of StarNow has allowed for many awesome opportunities to be created. Landing the role for lead actor in an upcoming music video has been just one of the many. StarNow has allowed me to be seen by leading Producers and Directors within New Zealand, as well as landing smaller roles for student projects. Would definitely recommend.

I've just been working on a period drama, a referral from a Director I worked on Inside Buckingham Palace. StarNow gave me that opportunity. I love acting and they have great castings that come up on my phone. Some in the holidays but if not and school are ok with it I audition, I just keep trying.

I have only been a full member for two weeks and have managed to be shortlisted and now cast in a TV Ad for Aviva Insurance.

I had a featured role in a $50 million U.S. feature film based on David and Goliath called Final Empire. It filmed in Tunisia, London and Canada.

After applying to represent NZ at WCOPA 2011 and receiving a raft of gold medals, it put my career back on track. Dreams can become reality, you just need to take the steps to make it happen. I've had a write up in a national magazine & Marlaina's Kitchen FB Page now has 24k followers. 'A Seasoning' will be released 2016.

From small acorns .. so the saying goes is certainly true when it comes to Sian Francis. First appearing as a zombie in a feature film saw Sian's hunger for more featured, lead and now nurse clinical advisor roles, including 2 Hollywood films whilst gaining agent representation - all thanks to StarNow for being the essential link!

I joined StarNow last month after a maternity break. Within two weeks I was cast in a commercial for John Lewis through the site! Since then I have had a number of castings and my confidence has definitely improved. I've rediscovered my love of acting and I can't wait to get booked for more jobs through the site.
