The Challenge: A Fragmented Industry
The Chilean audiovisual industry has historically operated on an informal infrastructure for casting access. The circulation of opportunities depended on private networks and manual processes, generating structural inefficiencies and access gaps for both performers and production companies.
At Kometa Networks, we identified this friction as an industry design problem. From that diagnosis, La Castinera was born.
Strategic Approach
We didn’t design a simple job board, but a sectoral platform guided by:
- Equitable access to opportunities.
- Standardization of processes.
- Transparency and verification.
Technological Architecture
The platform prioritizes performance, security, and maintainability:
- Frontend: Hybrid rendering optimized for SEO and UX.
- Backend: Robust relational databases (PostgreSQL).
- Infrastructure: Distributed cloud deployment with serverless services.
Key Features
For Performers
- Structured professional profiles.
- Audiovisual material publication.
- Direct application to castings.
For Production Companies
- Centralized casting management.
- Professional search filters.
- Process traceability.
Impact
Since its implementation, La Castinera has consolidated as the reference point for professional casting in Chile, reducing operational friction and expanding access to diverse talent.
This project is not only a digital development but a piece of infrastructure for an industry that requires modernization.
