Public meeting points

First meets in public. Always.

Whether it's a casting test, a wardrobe fitting, or a first chemistry meeting — the first time you meet someone in person, do it in a public place. Cafés, lobbies of shared studios, hotels with security, and well-lit malls all work. Avoid private homes and isolated locations until you have shot with the team at least once and trust is established.

What to look for

  • First meeting requested at a private apartment
  • Late-night studio session with no second person mentioned
  • Address that turns out to be a residential block, not a studio
  • No published address or studio name — 'I'll send the location later'
  • The 'studio' is reachable only through poorly-lit streets

What to do

  1. Ask for the studio name + a Google Maps link in advance.
  2. Verify the studio exists and has a public phone number.
  3. Bring a friend, agent, or fellow creator to the first meeting.
  4. Tell someone you trust the venue, the people, and the call sheet.
  5. Share your live location with that person during the meeting.
