More Than a CV: What Makes a Studiomate Profile Different

In an industry obsessed with credits and reels, most profiles look the same.

Headshot. Height. Agent. Training.
Clips that try to fit into someone else’s box.
A sea of sameness, curated for approval, not expression.

At Studiomate, we wanted something different.

We didn’t build profiles for gatekeepers.
We built them for you — the creative.


🎨 Your Profile Should Speak for You — Not Just Sell You

Traditional platforms like Spotlight or Mandy serve a purpose — and they do it well. But let’s be honest: those profiles are about fitting a mould. They’re tailored to what casting directors want to see, not what you want to say.

A Studiomate profile flips that on its head.

We give you space to show who you are as an artist — not just what jobs you’ve booked. It’s designed to reflect your creative identity, your values, your voice, your process.
It’s less CV, more portfolio-meets-storyboard.

Because the right collaborators don’t just want someone who fits the brief.
They want someone who brings something real to the table.


🧠 Built to Be Made Your Own

Every Studiomate profile is a blank canvas, not a form to be filled out. Here’s what makes it different:

  • Creative-driven layout: You’re not boxed in by rigid templates. Your page flows the way your story does — from your background and influences to your projects and dreams.

  • Project-first visibility: The projects you’re part of (or want to start) live right on your profile. People don’t just see your past work — they see what you’re building now.

  • Not just reels — real voice: Upload your showreel, sure. But also share your philosophy, your aesthetics, your inspirations. What drives your work? What do you care about? What are you really looking to create?

  • Collaboration-ready: Because your profile connects directly to your creative projects, people don’t just “bookmark” you — they build with you.


🧭 Show Who You Are, Not Just What You Think They Want

One of the biggest problems in this industry is that people feel like they have to show what’s “marketable.” To make themselves palatable. Safe. Castable.

But the truth is, some of the best creatives in the world don’t tick easy boxes.
They break them.
They create new ones.

That’s why Studiomate gives you a profile that can reflect your actual taste. Your tone. Your weirdness. Your ambition. Your you-ness.

You don’t have to wait until you’re successful to be authentic.
You don’t have to shrink yourself to be “seen.”

Let your profile speak for you — the real you — and the right people will listen.


🌱 This Isn’t a Marketplace. It’s a Movement.

We’re not here to recreate what already exists.
We’re here to rethink what a creative profile can be.

At Studiomate, we believe that:

  • A profile should feel like an invitation, not an application.

  • A project should start with passion, not permission.

  • A creative community should be open, not exclusive.

Whether you’re an actor, writer, director, or multi-hyphenate — your Studiomate profile is a home for your creative self. Use it to showcase your vision, build your team, and tell your story — not the one the industry wants, but the one only you can tell.


🎬 Your Profile Is Your Studio

This isn’t just a profile page.
It’s your digital creative space.

Make it yours.
Make it bold.
Make it say what you’ve been wanting to say for years.

And if you’re still figuring out your voice?
That’s okay. Your Studiomate profile is a place to explore it.

Because you don’t need to “arrive” to start building.
You just need to show up as yourself.

Let’s create.
