About Us
What is the ADCQ?
The Association des Directeurs de Casting du Québec is a professional association established to publicize and recognize the work of casting directors.
The correct term for our occupation is casting director, not casting agent. An agent is person or organization that acts on behalf of another (talent agent, booking agent, manager, etc.). A casting director is hired and paid by a producer to cast actors in a project, such as a feature film, television series or commercial. ADCQ members have signed a code of ethics drafted by the UDA (Union des Artistes) and must abide by it.
The ADCQ also seeks to develop meaningful connections with the various players on the Quebec media arts scene: ACTRA (Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists), AQAA (Association Québécoise des Agents Artistiques), ACCT (Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television), AQPM (Association québécoise de la production médiatique), CDC (Casting Directors Society of Canada), etc.
All ADCQ members are professional casting directors with at least two years’ experience in the media arts in Quebec. For further information, please contact us.
Our Code of Ethics
29.01
All members of the Association are bound by this code of ethics and undertake to uphold and promote the spirit and letter of the code in their daily activities.
29.02
A casting director shall always strive to be as objective as possible.
29.03
Association members shall respect the various agreements signed by the parties to a contract.
29.04
Association members shall not serve as both casting director and booking agent, talent agent, artist’s manager, actor, acting teacher and/or any other position within a project’s production department.
29.05
Association members shall receive no compensation other than the fees payable to the casting director by producers or other employers.
29.06
Association members undertake to respect the minimum rate set at the general meeting.
29.07
Association members undertake to respect the maximum rate for signing with an agency set at the general meeting.
29.08
Association members undertake to display or give their clients a copy of the Association’s code of ethics.
29.09
Any complaint against a member of the Association shall be addressed to the President of the Association and reviewed by the Board within a reasonable time after its receipt.
29.10
The Board’s decision concerning a complaint, expulsion, suspension, dismissal of a complaint, or any other disciplinary action involving a member shall be ratified by two thirds of the members present at the general meeting.
What do casting directors do?
A client, usually a producer or advertising agency, contacts a casting director for help finding the right actor for a role in a commercial, TV show, movie, webseries, corporate film or other type of production. Casting directors draw on their knowledge of the available pool of talent to find leads, supporting actors or extras, as required. Once familiar with a project and all its requirements, they can steer their client towards the actors who fit the bill. Casting directors may make suggestions or organize casting calls and are in charge of auditions. Once actors have been selected for various roles, casting directors confirm that they have accepted them.
