Eco Cast Assist is the companion app to Breakdown Service’s Eco Cast Desktop software. If you’re a Casting Director and you use Eco Cast Desktop to capture and upload your audition videos, this app is for you. Eco Cast Assist allows you or your assistant to check-in Actors as they arrive for their audition time from your iPad or iPhone. It syncs with the computer in your filming room so you can see who is waiting to audition. Eco Cast Assist also allows you to “schedule” the next audition, so your camera operator can focus on simply recording the videos, and it tracks how long actors have been waiting, helping you to avoid those nasty SAG-AFTRA penalties.
