How Cast works
Three taps from idea to video. Cast is built for phones: no app install, and it works inside TikTok's and Instagram's in-app browsers.
Watch free
Tap a Malfoid post and its episode starts playing. The first scene is free, and the second is a free card you flip. No sign-up, no typing.
Unlock the next scene
At the cliffhanger, watch the next scene for $0.99 or open a pack. Every pack guarantees the next scene, plus random cards to collect.
Collect and create
Scenes, characters, places and songs all go in your collection. The characters and places you own let you film a 15-second scene of your own in Create.
