Katrina Cook CASTING DIRECTOR & CEO OF KATZKASTING |
I will never forget my first
time on a movie set. It was midnight, and I had been invited to watch a
"shoot-out" for an indie film, that turned out being my first
extras casting job. I did not know what to expect, but 6 hours later, I
was hooked. Watching the intricate details that went into play just for
one short clip of a guy blowing his brains out, it amazed me! I came back
out the next night to see more, I was asked to be an extra, I told my
friends, and they wanted to be extras, so the production company said
"Great!" Day after day, more of my friends were showing up to be
extras, finally the Producer called me and asked me if I thought I could
get together at least 30 people for a bar scene, and if I could, he would
put my name in the credits for Extras Casting. Seventy-five people showed
up for the bar scene. Most I didn't directly know. It was then that I
realized that the majority of people out there have the desire to be in a
movie, but didn't know how to get their foot in the door. I decided that I
enjoyed sharing the movie experience with people, and thus in the
following months I created KATZ KASTING which skyrocketed to over 1000
extras within the first few months.
Now I am pleased to be experienced in all areas of Casting. I love being on set, in the midst of the action. I love discovering new talent. I love the thrill of congratulating someone on getting the role. I love my job and want to share the movies with everyone! You may contact me directly at: Katrina@KatzKasting.com |
 Joyce Connick Danielson CASTING ASSOCIATE |
I started my career as a
volunteer for a local cable company, running the teleprompter during the
weekly news cast. Once I stepped in the studio I was hooked on being part
of this wonderful world of television. As a volunteer the company used me
in a wide range of departments. Each one is unique and interesting to me.
Because I have a magical way of bringing out the best in people when
talking to them I even got a chance to work as a field reporter. A few years later I worked on my first feature film and I knew I had found my calling. I began doing work as a casting director & extras casting director on independent films. Since then I have worked on several feature films, television shows, M.O.W., commercials, web-episodes, industrial training videos and Point of Purchase videos. I am known for my charm and charisma. Some directors tell me I also bring an encouraging sense of calm and confidence to the project. I am someone you can trust and depend on knowing you need the job done right, in time and within budget. You may contact me directly at: Joyce@KatzKasting.com |
