Hire costumed characters
in Culver City.
Trained character performers in screen-accurate costumes for retail openings, family days, brand activations, and corporate events with kid-facing components.
Corporate character work in LA splits across three lanes — branded mascots at retail openings on Rodeo Drive and the Grove, costumed characters at brand family days for studio and agency clients, and themed performers (period actors, sci-fi, noir) for murder mysteries and immersive corporate experiences across DTLA and Hollywood. Showcraft's LA character roster overlaps with our working-actor pool: SAG-AFTRA performers comfortable in costume, on camera, and in front of executive audiences. Brand marketing teams at studios, CPG companies, and Westside tech book us for activations where a mascot or themed performer needs to actually perform — not just stand there. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.
Showcraft serves Culver City and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Culver City has become the de facto media-and-tech hub of the Westside — Amazon Studios, Apple TV+, HBO, Sony Pictures, and TikTok all run major campuses here, and the Hayden Tract and Ivy Station mixed-use developments keep premiere-adjacent activations active year-round. We staff brand teams and lead-capture for studio premieres at Sony Pictures, demo crews for tech offsites along Hayden Avenue and at Apple's Culver City campus, family days at the Culver Steps and downtown Culver City, and red-carpet greeters for screening events at the Culver Theater. Our Culver City roster overlaps with our working-actor LA pool — comfortable on camera, briefed on studio confidentiality, and bilingual EN/ES across all roles. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.
