Cayenne Casting

Cayenne Casting specializes in original casting for brand print, commercials, & content shoots. Utilizing both traditional modeling agencies and selective street casting, we work alongside photographers, producers and creative directors to secure the best talent for every project. As casting directors, we value individuality & originality. Our goal is to present diverse talent that reflects the world in which we live by presenting a range of ages, sizes, ethnicities and genders to find the perfect fit to support the creative vision. We offer a scalable approach ranging from agency portfolio PDFs, to Instagram links, to street scouting real people, to video go-sees focused on personality and performance. Let us help you discover what’s best for your next project. Founded in 2019 by longtime friends Kristen Pate and Jamie McPhee, Cayenne Casting seeks to shine a spotlight on true individuals. Coming from the film and television world, Kristen Pate specializes in talent selection and coordination. Having spent time on both sides of the camera as an actress and producer, Pate most enjoys casting female-centric projects and storytelling casting with a multicultural point of view. With nearly 20 years as both a photo shoot producer and ad agency creative, Jamie McPhee understands the importance of diverse, multifaceted talent in today’s brand driven world. Her favorite types of casting are youth culture and athletic performance. Cayenne Casting is a women-owned business.
