As Casting Directors, we get to do what we do best –
going above and beyond to create opportunities for people.
Whether arranging a creative meeting between producer
and client, letting an actor know that he or she has ‘got’ the
part or simply getting someone into an audition - on a daily
basis we get to share the wealth around. Holding true to
this paradigm brings us enormous joy and satisfaction.
