A great casting director should be one of the first partners you hire when you set out in pre-production on your feature. The right casting director will add legitimacy to your project and help you assemble a cast that is perfect for your story, and that appeals to investors.

We’re pleased to present our annual panel and networking event featuring some of the top casting directors working in independent film.

The panel will offer tips on when and how best to approach a casting director; some dos and don’ts to observe; and ways to get around the Catch-22 that faces many indie filmmakers – you can’t get money without a cast and you can’t attach talent without money. They’ll also talk about the growing field of webseries and episodic content.

With Casting Directors Nicole Arbusto (French Exit), Julia Kim (Minari) and Brandon Henry Rodriguez (Arkansas).

Moderated by Casting Director Sunday Boling (Hello, My Name Is Doris).
