Moonlighting has worked for many years with dedicated casting directors who have an excellent understanding of directors' needs. They cast proactively from, for example, theatres, schools and dance groups and conduct street casting where necessary. Moonlighting cast both onto tape and digitally. We can upload web presentations, e-mail stills or freight tapes to the client for viewing.

Since its establishment Moonlighting has built up a large database of knowledge about the various regions in which we work, from Ghana in West Africa to Kenya in Central East Africa, as well as in Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, the Indian Ocean Islands and every corner of the nine provinces that make up South Africa. Moonlighting is also affiliated with Namib Films in Namibia making shooting in this neighboring country a lot more feasible.
