OUR Approach
As a members of the Muslim and SWANA/MENASA communities, we have a level of insight and access to these groups that no other casting company can provide. We understand their motivations, their nuances, their strengths and their beauty.
Actors
Muslim and SWANA actors are not a monolith. They are extremely diverse. They are Black, White, Asian, Indigenous, and mixed. They hail all kinds of countries and territories. They speak many languages and have many different traditions and norms. At MA Casting, we understand this and understand the sensitivities this comes with. We know how to approach talent and ensure they are qualified and up to the task.
Other Creatives
Muslim Creatives are not just actors, they are Writers, Producers, Directors, and Content Creators of all varieties. Companies, networks, and studios are waking up to the reality that America is diverse and multifaceted. They are recognizing the need for inclusive story telling and marketing, both above and below the line. Here at MA Casting, we are building our rolodex of creatives. Contact us for more information.
