After.Casting

I am back in L.A - I have a little NYC withdrawal. We still have a few roles to cast in “After.Life,” but the director has seen everyone and now she just has to pick out the rest of the day players. My assistant in NY has been great and so helpful, and overall the agents and managers in NY were amazing to work with, so helpful and really on top of the casting, which I appreciated. I am proud of the cast: Liam Neeson, Christina Ricci, Justin Long, Josh Charles & Shuler Hensley. We also have wonderfully talented day players and I am so excited about hiring them.

This is my third film that I have cast in NY and I am so lucky to have the ability to be a local hire, but also learning about more actors is an asset that gives me a competitive edge when trying to get a job. Yes, I have to interview for jobs just like actors and sometimes it feels like an audition, so I hope these experiences make me more attractive to producers and directors.

Now that I am back in L.A, I need to get another gig, not so easy right now because many of the films that are shooting before the new year already have a casting director, I know things will come up in the new year, but waiting for a few months for work to come in is stressful but all part of the deal when being freelance.
