Project |01
"Z: The Beginning of Everything"
Picrow Inc.
​
Casting Assistant:
This was my first project working as a casting assistant. It was a month long shoot in Savannah, GA. Background casting is very fun and more complex than I was expecting. I am excited to cast again soon and I appreciate everything I learned while on Z.
Daytime Divas- VH1
​
Casting Assistant:
This was my 2nd project doing background casting. It was interesting seeing the difference in production scale compared to "Z". Not only did I receive training and experience in working with network executives, I also learned a lot about regulations within the industry.
The Laramie Project- Newnan Community Theatre
​
The Laramie Project is a play by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project (specifically, Leigh Fondakowski,Stephen Belber, Greg Pierotti, Barbara Pitts, Stephen Wangh, Amanda Gronich, Sara Lambert, John McAdams, Maude Mitchell, Andy Paris, and Kelli Simpkins) about the reaction to the 1998 murder of University of Wyoming gay student Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming. The murder was denounced as a hate crime and brought attention to the lack of hate crimes laws in various states, including Wyoming.
The play draws on hundreds of interviews conducted by the theatre company with inhabitants of the town, company members' own journal entries, and published news reports. It is divided into three acts, and eight actors portray more than sixty characters in a series of short scenes.
