About Us

fz casting is rooted in instinct, authenticity, and a deep love for the casting process. Founded by casting director Frank Zabilka, we've been casting projects across the U.S. since 2015—primarily in Chicago and the Midwest, with credits that also span New York City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Scottsdale, and the Southeast. 

Whether it's a bold national campaign or a deeply personal narrative short, we treat every project as its own—finding the right talent to bring it to life. 

Our client list includes legacy brands and rising creatives alike: The Home Depot, A&W, Mountain Dew, Corona, Walmart, Potbelly, Nickelodeon, and United Airlines, among many others. From comedy spots to real people campaigns, our casting sensibility is both grounded and forward-thinking.
