Casting talent may be one of the most visible parts of the pre-production process, but the actual workings and understanding of it can easily remain invisible and elusive for indie filmmakers.

Today host Steven Pierce sits with casting director Rachel Reiss CSA to help shed much needed light on what the casting director does and why the CD-filmmaker relationship is so crucial.


“Rachel Reiss CSA is a senior casting director at Liz Lewis Casting Partners where she casts Film, TV, Commercials, Animation and VO nationwide. She has cast hundreds of commercials and voice-overs, including many that have been recognized with Clio Awards and Cannes Lion Awards.”
