About PCA

Casting with responsibility.

Founded in 2019 in Vienna. Over 80 productions since then, a network that has grown, and one clear stance: personal over automatic.

The story

From the stage into casting.

Silja Winiarski, Gründerin PCA People Cast Agency Wien
Silja Winiarski
Founder & CEO

When a vocal injury ended my career as a performer, I switched sides: from the talent's perspective to looking after sets, then to my own agency. I knew casting from the inside, what talent needs, what productions really look for, and where the two don't meet.

I founded PCA in 2019. Shortly after, the entire film industry stood still. I didn't. A young agency, new projects, Covid testing on set, what began as the hardest possible start became proof that it works.

Seven years on, I work on productions that run on Netflix, BBC and in German-speaking premium houses. What producers value about working with me: one point of contact, clear communication, and a cast that shows up on shoot day.

I'm also an elected representative of the Film, Culture and Entertainment trade group at the Austrian Chamber of Commerce in Vienna.

Onur Poyraz

Onur knows set from both sides. As an actor, seen in the ORF/Netflix series „Biester“ and „Alles Finster“ and the Amazon Prime series „Beasts Like Us“, he knows what talent needs in front of the camera. Through years of experience as a project lead and crowd manager on film and TV productions, he also knows how a set runs from the production side. He brings both perspectives together at PCA.

How I work

Three principles that guide every booking.

01

Personal selection

No automatic pool. After your briefing, I actively select and send only suggestions that really fit.

02

One point of contact

From the first briefing to the final invoice, I stay your point of contact. No handing off, no explaining from scratch.

03

Reliability on set

From booking to shoot day: one point of contact, clear processes, and a fast response when it counts.

Working together

Tell me what you need.

For clients: send a briefing, get suggestions. For talent: apply, and I'll get in touch.
