Interviews With Casting Directors & Producers
Thanks for agreeing to do an interview with me!
My goal is to help actors get more bookings and move their careers forward (feel free to check out my "About" page), and in this interview we will be discussing your work as a casting director, filmmaker, or producer and what you've seen in the actors you've hired so other actors can learn from our discussion. Below are 6 possible interview questions to discuss (we might not do all of them, or we might do some different ones depending on what we talk about).
