UI Design for independent actors agency

I'm aiming to create a website for local filmmakers. Actors/Actresses will be allowed to register on website but some may be granted additional badges (like verified) on their profiles. Main page should look like this -> Actors with pictures displayed in grid order with badges on top of their profiles. Also, I'd like to have "Story" feature implemented on the main page where some of the actors will be able to post their "Stories" to make them featured on main page. Also, there should be a dropdown or some option for filtration. Apart from these features website should have Authorization, Contact and instructions page. Look should be sleek and modern.
