The right person can change the entire production.
Location Nepal provides professional casting services in Nepal for international films, television productions, commercials, fashion campaigns, photography projects, documentaries and branded content.
Led by Casting Director Gautam Dhimal, we work from the production brief backwards, finding the people, faces, personalities, performers and real characters the project actually needs.
From first casting brief to shortlist, audition and production day, we handle the local side.
CASTING FOR PRODUCTIONS. OPPORTUNITIES FOR TALENT.
TWO SIDES OF THE SAME CASTING NETWORK.
FOR INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONS
Looking for actors, models, performers, real people, families, children, background artists or highly specific local characters for a production in Nepal?
Tell us what the project requires.
We can research, scout, shortlist, coordinate auditions and bring the right local people into the production process.
FOR ACTORS, MODELS & TALENT
You may be an experienced actor. You may be a model looking for your first international campaign.
You may be a dancer, musician, presenter, performer, athlete, specialist or simply someone who fits a very particular brief.
International productions do come to Nepal looking for people. The first step is being ready when the right brief arrives.
CASTING IS MORE THAN FINDING A FACE.
FROM A PRODUCTION BRIEF TO THE RIGHT PERSON.
A casting brief can be simple. Sometimes it is extremely specific.
Age. Look. Language. Personality. Physicality. Background. Culture. Performance ability. Location. Special skills. Availability. Or simply someone who feels right for the camera.
Location Nepal can manage the local casting process from research and scouting through shortlist, audition and coordination with the production team.
CASTING BRIEF → RESEARCH & SCOUTING → SHORTLIST → AUDITION → SELECTION → PRODUCTION
The production makes the final creative decision. We make the local process work.
WHO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
ACTORS. MODELS. PERFORMERS. REAL PEOPLE. SPECIALISTS.
We cast according to the brief, not according to a fixed list.
ACTORS AND SPEAKING TALENT
Lead, supporting and character roles for film, television and commercial productions.
MODELS AND FASHION TALENT
Editorial, fashion, beauty, lifestyle and advertising campaigns.
DANCERS, MUSICIANS AND PERFORMERS
Contemporary, traditional, cultural and specialist performance talent.
CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND REAL PEOPLE
When the story requires authenticity rather than trained performers.
BACKGROUND AND SUPPORTING ARTISTS
Crowds, groups, local communities, workers, students, travellers and location specific characters.
SPECIALIST TALENT
Athletes, mountaineers, horse riders, musicians, martial artists, craftspeople, guides and people with specific professional or practical skills.
TRADITIONAL AND CULTURAL PERFORMERS
When a production requires genuine knowledge and appropriate representation.
Sometimes the brief calls for someone who does not think of themselves as an actor or model at all.
That is where proper local scouting matters.
GAUTAM DHIMAL · CASTING DIRECTOR
CASTING WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF A PRODUCER.
Gautam Dhimal brings casting into the wider reality of production.
He has worked across international film, television, advertising, photography and documentary production as a Casting Director, Casting Manager, Producer, Line Producer, Production Manager, Photographer, Cinematographer and Fixer.
That matters.
A Casting Director needs to understand the brief. A Producer needs to understand the production. A Photographer understands what the camera sees. A Line Producer understands time, logistics and budgets. A Fixer understands people, places and how things actually happen on the ground.
Gautam brings those perspectives together.
His casting credits include international productions for BBC One, Channel 4 and global advertising clients, alongside a much wider body of production work through Location Nepal.
CASTING EXPERIENCE ACROSS INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONS
FROM BRITISH TELEVISION TO GLOBAL ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS.
Gautam Dhimal's casting work has been part of productions from the United Kingdom, Germany, Malaysia, South Korea, China, Israel, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

These projects represent Gautam's personal casting credits. Location Nepal's wider production network has supported casting across many additional international productions.
CASTING DOES NOT HAPPEN IN ISOLATION.
IT HAPPENS INSIDE A PRODUCTION.
Location Nepal is not simply a talent list.
We are a production company supporting international films, documentaries, commercials, photography projects, fashion productions and television work in Nepal.
Our wider production network brings together producers, line producers, photographers, filmmakers, location managers, fixers, interpreters, crew and other specialists around the casting requirement.
Behind that network is Films & AdFilms, our parent company and the production foundation from which our work has grown.
Alongside Location Nepal, our creative network includes Himalayan Fashion Adventure, MORPH Magazine, Fantastic Film & Photography and the Gehendra Dhimal Foundation.
Casting can therefore connect directly into the wider production, creative and cultural ecosystem.

CASTING FOR INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONS FILMING IN NEPAL
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE. INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTION STANDARDS.
When an international production comes to Nepal, casting is rarely just about finding available people.
There may be language requirements, cultural considerations, travel, permissions, schedules, contracts, releases, rehearsals, costume requirements, multiple locations and very little time.
Our job is to understand the production requirement and make the local casting process practical.
Whether you are a producer, director, casting department, agency, creative director or production company, bring us the brief.
We will help build the local casting process around it.
ARE YOU CASTING READY?
A CASTING PROFILE IS NOT THE SAME AS AN INSTAGRAM PROFILE.
One of the biggest problems in casting is not a lack of talent. It is a lack of useful information.
A production may need to make decisions quickly. Clear photographs, accurate measurements, age, languages, experience, skills, availability and a simple understanding of who you are can make a real difference.
A professional casting profile does not need to be expensive or complicated. But it does need to be clear. Good headshots matter. Full length photographs matter. Accurate information matters. Relevant experience matters. And if you have no professional experience yet, that is information too. Do not try to make yourself look like someone you are not. Show the casting team who you actually are.
A better profile can make you easier to consider. It can never guarantee a casting.

CASTING CALLS. AUDITIONS. INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONS. CONNECTIONS.
International productions come to Nepal throughout the year.
Some need experienced actors.
Some need new faces.
Some need models, dancers, musicians, children, families, athletes, specialists or simply someone who fits a very particular description.
Not every opportunity can be announced publicly and not every casting is open to everyone.
But staying connected matters.
Follow Gautam Dhimal for casting related opportunities, production announcements, creative connections and updates from the world of film, photography and production in Nepal.
FOLLOW GAUTAM DHIMAL
You can also follow Location Nepal for production news and opportunities.
NO EXPERIENCE? START SOMEWHERE.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE FAMOUS TO BE CASTED.
Many international productions are looking for people who have never appeared on screen before.
A production may need a particular face, age, personality, language, physical ability, profession, background or lived experience.
That means there can be opportunities for experienced professionals as well as completely new talent.
What matters is being honest, reachable and prepared.
Following our channels or submitting a profile does not guarantee an audition, casting, employment or selection.
Casting is always based on the requirements of a specific production.
YOUR CASTING PROFILE SHOULD REPRESENT YOU PROPERLY.
PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS. CLEAR INFORMATION. A STRONGER FIRST IMPRESSION.
We help actors, models and emerging talent become casting ready.
Professional headshots.
Useful portfolio photographs.
Basic profile information.
Measurements and relevant details.
Practical guidance on how to present yourself for professional casting.
Because sometimes the talent is there.
The problem is simply that nobody can see it properly.
WHY PRODUCTIONS WORK WITH LOCATION NEPAL
CASTING IS PART OF THE PRODUCTION, NOT A SEPARATE TASK.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

People are not search results. Relationships, communication and trust matter.
That is why we treat casting as part of the production from the beginning.
