Recently an extras/acting/modelling agency called Australian Talent Management (ATM) has been advertising current castings all over Australia-wide online job listings. I have been in contact with them regarding a TV series being filmed on the Gold Coast, but I can't find any information on them (other then their job listings and website). Does anyone know this agency? Is it another NOTM? I'm a bit concerned. They allow for a free listing on their website but in order to actually be presented to clients, they suggest you upgrade to a $100 yearly membership. I was in touch with NOTM a year ago and I recall they had a very similar system of membership. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated. I suspect there will soon be an increase in interest in this agency following the recent spate of casting listings.

I have just finished working for ATM on a television series with channel 7. I worked with 14 other extras from the agency. They seem ligitimate. Tesesa is a lovely lady she even offered to pick me up and drive her to the set this morning as I was going to use public transport, then they paid for the taxi for me to get there on time. I think it is rude and wrong to compaire them to other agencies, I did research on them before working with them and they checked out. Look at the About Us on there website!!! All I have to say is WOW. If I am wrong about them and I have any problems getting paid I will definalty let you all know. I hope I am not wrong.
