Inside Casting - a Conversation with Casting Directors
The Spiel
Open Works Festival presents Inside Casting - A Conversation with Casting Directors. Casting Directors play a vital role in bringing stories to life, helping to find the actors who will inhabit a production's world and connect with audiences. Sheffield-based Casting Directors, Ellie Collyer-Bristow CDG and Sophie Parrott CDG will lift the lid on their profession, sharing insights into how they discover talent, build an ensemble, and work with directors, writers and producers throughout the casting process.
