Independent Film Creative Hub

Hi Creative Community!

In 2020, Independent Creative Hub was founded by Luz Cabrales and Desiree Zielinski with a simple goal: to bring filmmakers, actors, writers, artists, and creatives together. Over the years, that vision grew into a vibrant community built on collaboration, opportunity, and shared creativity.

After an incredible run, we have made the decision to officially close Independent Creative Hub’s website and member hub. While this chapter is coming to an end, we are excited to announce a partnership with Casting Calls America.

Our partners at Casting Calls America are preparing to launch a newly redesigned platform, and they’re inviting all members of the Independent Creative Hub to participate in their Beta Test Program. This feels like a natural next step for those looking to stay connected to casting opportunities and continue growing their creative network.

As a beta tester, you’ll receive early access to the new platform and have the chance to:
• Explore new features before the public launch
• Provide feedback and suggest improvements
• Report any bugs and help refine the experience

Participants will also receive two voucher codes as a thank you:
• One for personal use
• One to gift (you may gift both if you’re not an actor)

Each voucher will provide 20% off any Casting Calls America subscription for three months. A free plan will also be available on the new platform.

If you’re interested in being part of this beta test, you can sign up here:

Thank you again for being part of Independent Creative Hub. We’re grateful for the time we’ve shared and hope this opportunity helps you take your next step.

We hope you’ll continue following our journeys and supporting the independent film community we’ve all helped build.

Wishing you all the best,
The Independent Creative Hub Team & Casting Calls America
