About us
The Nine Casting agency was founded by Kenesei Nóra in 2012 – the company name was inspired by Nóra’s lucky number. A year later, Bánáti Vanda joined her, and since then, the two of them have been responsible for the company’s success. The tremendous energy and work put in at the beginning quickly bore fruit. Without any relational capital, they managed to make the company increasingly recognized in the industry solely through their own efforts.
The first major success came with the casting of the French feature film “L’Ideal”. Today, they have reached the point where the biggest companies, such as Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, or BMW, turn to them when they need extras, advertisement models, or actors for a campaign. The company no longer works only with Hungarian partners; they also have numerous inquiries from abroad.

Key references
It would be difficult to list all the projects we have been involved in over the years, but we have
collected some of the highlights that we look back on and say, "This is why it was worth choosing this
profession!"
World-famous series with extra challenges
We're very proud to have worked on the production of Fauda 2022, a series that has presented us with challenges in many ways. For example, we had to react and organise everything in a very short time, as the location was suddenly moved from Ukraine to Hungary due to the war. We were able to secure actors and actresses, mainly of Arab origin, for the location almost at the speed of light.
Ice cream can be dangerous! – Fanni Szilágyi's international film award and 100 or so other miracles in filmmaking
We loved this job, it was a heartwarming project. Fanni, a childhood friend asked us to work together when she won a grant to make her first feature film through the Incubator program. The cast, the shoot and the whole project was like a giant box of sweet vanilla ice cream for us. We enjoyed working together and we are immensely proud that with very little money we managed to create a very successful production that eventually won an international film award.
A wave of ads on the Russian market, with very special characters
In the summer of 2022, we shot 6 commercials for the Russian market. The shootings were back to back and sometimes their dates coincided. So it was a real challenge. The situation got more difficult by the fact that we had to provide extra-special characters in a short time frame. During the shoot we also had a location on Lake Balaton, where we had to secure extras and key characters from the area around Lake Balaton, working with local people. The situation was even more complicated, as we had to work with unknown people, and the client's requirements included a crowd scene. The project was a success and the locals loved being part of the filming.
120 Asian skaters? No problem!
For an Asian advertisement we had to find 120 Asian skaters for our client. It was a memorable job. We rented a rink and spent days casting young Asian skaters. At the end, the client couldn't believe that we had managed to get so many beautiful people together in just a few days.
High expectations in an American film
At the end of 2023, we received a request for an American film that required only native French and English-speaking actors. The demand was huge and no other agency could find actors from Hungary. We contacted casting agencies abroad and got all the actors in a week. We were casting with foreign agencies day and night, it was a very tight schedule, but the client was extremely satisfied in the end. It also allowed us to secure very close relationships with big foreign agencies.
