Casting Frontier

Joey Rubenstein developed the initial concept for Casting Frontier and its original coding software that enabled producers, talent and casting agents to effectively identify talent through "virtual" castings, live feeds and video submissions while he was working in the casting industry in Los Angeles.[12] His automation software, called iSession, is used throughout all areas of talent casting - from both talent submissions and people who solicit talent for representations and projects - in the United States and Canada and his database of talent is over 800,000 users.[13][14]
