Reality, Scripted TV, Commercial, Brand Partnerships, Short Form Digital & Film Formats
Casting - a line item often overlooked in the budget phase, yet integral to the success of any project. At Coat Check Creative we are unique in that we deliver cast for non-scripted and scripted TV, commercials, film and short form digital content for the web. Our experience is applied to our client's advantage when negotiating timelines and meeting expectations. We track current standards and practices when sourcing talent, and determine when it’s best to contact agents, post breakdowns or find talent organically through grass roots outreach and viral marketing.
Learning the intricacies of new formats is challenging, but because of those efforts Paisley Baker has had the honor of working with some of the biggest series and brands in entertainment. (Search Paisley Baker on IMDB.com for credits & videos.) Paisley has also been in front of the camera as scripted talent, and was cast on the final season of Bravo’s ‘Workout’. Experiencing first-hand how it feels to film on commerical, film, TV and non-scripted reality TV sets enables Paisley to truly connect to candidates in an authentic and encouraging way.
Casting requires exceptional organizational and communicative ability, development and interview skills, and an adaptability that takes years to refine. As a Casting Director, Paisley advocates for both project and talent, and ensures no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of the perfect cast.

Creative Development is a niche area of the entertainment business that evolves and adapts with emerging formats. Because of this lack of equilibrium, regardless of content, Coat Check Creative helps clients focus their goals to keep progress on track and ensure some form of ROI.
With development, there’s no guarantee anyone will want what you're offering. The important first step is determining if you believe the project or content is worth the investment of your time.
Coat Check Creative guides clients through the development process and helps them define what success or ROI means to them. Any concept has the possibility of being successful, but it's Coat Check's industry exposure and experience, forward thinking, and complete transparency that ensures Coat Check Creative's clients enter the arena prepared for every eventuality.
From day one, individual clients and projects are evaluated with the same filter used at the Network or Parent Company levels. We evaluate & improve materials, and prepare clients for the real-world experience of pitching their projects.
What’s the difference between a Development client and a Management client??? Read Below.
Project Development
Management, by definition, is the function that coordinates the efforts of people to accomplish goals and objectives by using available resources efficiently and effectively. Coat Check Creative offers this project management option to a select number of creatives who have concepts and ideas in the very early stages that they'd like to develop and pitch. This option is for those who want to develop their idea, but don't know where to begin.
Each project and/or talent seeking Coat Check Creative's guidance and support will be given a quick, confidential, honest evaluation. Development takes time and requires relationship building. In the initial consultation we'll discuss briefly the following - overall creative, industry needs, personal and project goals, and the overall process of preparation and pitch. From there, we'll decide if Coat Check Creative is the right fit to help move your project forward.
Each client is unique, and each project presents its own challenges. Think of the project management arm of Coat Check Creative as a safe space for guided creative development.
Coat Check Creative's goal for management clients is to ensure growth for both the creative and the project. We make sure each step of the process, from concept to project green light, is as clear, digestible and successful as possible.
