PUBLIC Casting Development

Discovering real people.
Developing unforgettable stories.

JUST ANNOUNCED!

Excited to announce the New Stanford Prison Experiment coming to Netflix! Incredibly proud to have cast this and deeply grateful to everyone who trusted us with their stories. We admire their curiosity to explore one of history's most enduring questions — does power corrupt?

At PUBLIC, we find real people, creators, and stories for unscripted programming, partnerships, and documentaries.

 

From nuanced to shiny floors, we have the experience, depth, and proficiency to scale it all. We hire the best scavengers from around the world to help tell the story. Certainty that comes from a gritty, been-in-the-trenches, sleeves-pulled-up, seen-it-all approach that only comes from years of exposure. That’s trustworthiness. That’s foundational knowledge. That’s PUBLIC.

PORTFOLIO

For over 20 years, we've sought out and interviewed people from every subculture imaginable, procuring subjects for everything from competition reality shows to in-depth documentary films to ground-breaking news formats - each of them sending us on fascinating journeys of the human condition.

Content Creators

We may hear our news in the town square, but we guide our decisions with feedback from the saloon, and local influencers are the barkeeps of today.

 

They are the voices we trust because they are one of us. We know them, wesee them, we believe them. We have the same cares and we speak the same language. Local content creators have earned credibility through authentic navigation of our personal worlds and speak to the nuances of products, brands, and topics from first-hand experience. ​

 

At PUBLIC, we scout, vet, and maintain relationships with content creators for a wide variety of purposes. If you have content or a campaign that needs bespoke voices, we know who they are and would love to make an introduction.
