Greenlight joins: their roles, our registry
Every character bible is a casting sheet waiting for a cast. Greenlight's 700+ packaged film projects now cast from the registry — matched, licensed with full consent paperwork, and submitted back to their casting boards rights-cleared.
Film development has a supply chain, and it just got a missing link. Greenlight runs an always-on development marketplace — over 700 production-ready packages, each with a screenplay, character bible, moodboards, casting boards, and concept art, its forecasting already powered by Hollywood Metrics, our data partner. What those packages don't come with is a cast that has actually consented to be synthesized. That's the registry's job.
How the partnership works
- Roles in, candidates out. Characters from Greenlight bibles — age, register, languages, the way a role reads — are matched against registry talent whose terms actually permit film/TV replica work.
- Licensed before it's cast. A match becomes a booking, the booking becomes a license with the consent records and union riders film work demands — SAG-AFTRA digital-replica terms are first-class here, not fine print.
- Submitted back, certificate attached. As Greenlight's casting partner, Semblance pushes cleared profiles to their casting boards via their submit_actor tool — never a bare headshot, always the cert.
- One sitting, end to end. Over MCP, a producer's agent can option a package, list its roles, cast them from the registry, and attach licenses — the full pipeline is on the API page.
The consent line, unmoved
Nothing about speed changes the rules: every casting submission is backed by a specific, logged, revocable license; union-covered talent go through rider review before any replica work; and a Greenlight producer sees exactly the terms the talent set — red lines included. The pipeline is fast because the paperwork is machine-readable, not because anyone skipped it.
Greenlight's MCP server (22 tools) and REST API are documented at greenlight.film/mcp. Casting-partner submissions require the Growth tier on their side. Nothing on this page is legal advice.
