Overview
Phillyfaces.com is Philadelphia's first and only comprehensive on line directory for actors and models. What makes it unique is that actor/model talent from all agencies, managers, and casting directors, as well as independents, are able to list on the site. The restriction is that they must be local to the Philadelphia tri-state area thus making it more likely for bookings to occur.

Philosophy
Our Philosophy is that national talent sites are impractical and a waste of money since most talent users are unwilling to pay transportation and living expenses for long distance talent bookings. Single agency sites are limited by the quantity and quality of their particular talent. We expect Phillyfaces.com to be a real winner for online bookings, a win for the clients because they can easily and efficiently make a broad search for the talent they need, and a win for the talent due to the immense exposure, almost for free (at $35/year there is no better promotional bargain especially considering the fact that each model and actor receives their own personal web site in the offering).

Special Features
One of the unique features of Phillyfaces.com is that each actor and model have their own personal web site that can be accessed apart from the main Phillyfaces.com directory by entering the following addresses:

www.phillyfaces.com/actor/name or
www.phillyfaces.com/model/name

This means that each person listed on the site has a unique address to their own page or pages site and can list it on resumes or business cards.

If an actor or model already has their own site and they make the request, we will create a link from their Phillyfaces.com web page to the already existing site.

Actors can easily change or add content to their site by calling Church Street Studios at 215-627-2420. Yearly renewal is $35.00 regardless of the size of the site up to 7 images with resume.

And finally we offer 30 second digital video clips of actors that will enable casting directors to get a much better feel for the nature of the actor and model.
