Payment Policy

AF Castings – Payment Policy

Our Payment Policy outlines how and when talent will be compensated for their work on productions—including rush calls and last-minute bookings. While we work closely with each production to ensure timely payment, please note that payout timelines are determined by the production team and may vary based on factors such as the company, label, or payment processor involved.

1. Payment Process Overview

Production Wrap Email is issued within 2–3 business days after shoot completion. Talent selects Instant Payout (5%-6% processing fee) or Standard Production Payment (no fee). Talent submits invoice and required tax documentation within the stated timeframe.

2. Option 1: Instant Payout-FaceCard

Talent may elect to receive compensation via FaceCard Instant Payout. Instant payout carries a 5%-6% processing fee and is released upon invoice approval. By selecting Instant Payout, Talent expressly authorizes the 5%-6% deduction from the total invoice amount. Selection of Instant Payout is voluntary.

3. Option 2: Standard Production Payout

If Instant Payout is not selected, payment follows the production’s standard timeline of 30–120 days. This timeline varies by production and remains outside of AF Castings control.

Invoice & Documentation Requirements

• Complete and accurate invoice

• Required tax documentation (W-9 or equivalent)

• Valid payment method (typically Direct Deposit, in some cases Zelle or CashApp)

Failure to follow invoice instructions may result in delays. Incomplete or incorrect invoices may be rejected.

4. Quarterly Tax Compliance

AF Castings operates on a quarterly tax reporting schedule. All invoices must be submitted within the same calendar quarter services were rendered and by the written deadline stated in the wrap email. Invoices submitted after the applicable quarterly reporting period may be rejected and deemed void. AF Castings is not responsible for processing late submissions once quarterly filings are completed. It is crucial that we receive your documents correctly and on time.

5. Payment Status and Communication Policy

All payment-related inquiries must be submitted by replying directly to the original Wrap Email thread at info@afcastings.co. Do not create new email threads. Personal phone calls, texts, direct messages, social media inquiries, or contacting the client directly regarding payment are strictly prohibited and may result in delayed responses.
