On February 13, 2005, during the Berlin International Film Festival,
fifteen casting directors from seven countries have founded the International Casting Directors Network (ICDN). Today, the network has 40 members from 18 different countries.
It is the first network of its kind and is aimed exclusively at casting
directors who cast feature films. Up until then, casting directors were
only organised in national associations.
ICDN objectives
The ICDN offers casting directors the chance to exchange ideas on an
international level about their different ways of working, to take
advantage of synergies with international co-productions and to attract
greater attention to the work of casting a film, and, to publicize,
inform about and enhance the profession of the casting director in every
country
The goals of the ICDN include:
• Establishing a recognized standard of professionalism in the industry
• Enhancing the stature of the profession of casting director
• Taking on responsibility to help shape film policy and processes
• Honouring achievements of members
• Providing members with professional support and resources
