We're Building the Roster That Launches This Network.
Shoppd Studios is looking for writers, performers, and production people who understand that a two-minute scripted vertical shot on an iPhone is the future of commerce.
The first credit on a new network is worth more than the fifteenth on an existing one.
We're building this roster right now.
You've Booked the Audition. You've Lost the Role.
You've Done It Enough Times to Know the Math Doesn't Work.
You're good at this.
The callbacks prove it.
The bank account doesn't.
The industry has one pipeline and it runs through people who already know people. You've been waiting at the entrance long enough to know nobody's coming to open it.
Here's what's different about this:
We don't cast talent to sell products. We cast performers to build characters. Characters that live inside original shows, own a piece of what they build. Shoppd doesn't hire talent to sell products. We cast performers to build characters and worlds. The distinction is why the conversion numbers look different here.
The audition isn't for a brand deal.
It's for a role in a network.
Those are two very different things.
For Crew & Production Professionals
| Role | What We're Looking For |
|---|---|
| Directors | Experience with short-form, narrative, or documentary formats |
| DPs / Camera Operators | Mobile-first and vertical-native shooting instincts |
| Editors | Fast-turnaround episodic editing, platform-optimized |
| Writers | Short-form scripts, character development, commerce-adjacent storytelling |
| Set Designers / Art Directors | Minimal set design that reads as world-building on a phone screen |
| Audio Engineers | Clean location audio on compact, efficient rigs |
| Production Assistants | High-output batch production environments |
| Live-Stream Technicians | Technically fluent in TikTok Live, Instagram Live, and multi-cam switching |
We shoot in batches. We build minimal but repeatable sets. We optimize for authenticity over production value, because the story has to land before the product can.
The bar is realness, not polish.
