This has been a year like no other – and despite a global pandemic, it has proved productive for many, and transformative too. Mad Dog 2020 Casting has embarked on new partnerships, worked on a host of new and returning productions and enjoyed connecting with our Artists in new ways.
While 2020 may have brought the filming industry to a brief halt, productions came back bigger and better than ever, proving nothing could stop our outstanding industry. Today, we are looking back on the year gone by and another excellent year for film, TV, commercials and casting.
