About this episode

Amey Rene discusses her experiences as a casting director in indie films and shares practical tips for actors.

This episode features casting Director Amey Rene. One of the current queens of indie film casting, René focuses almost exclusively on smaller films. She's said, "There’s something absolutely magical about finding the exact right person for a role, watching them step into a character, and suddenly—boom!—the whole story comes alive. It’s like putting together the most exciting puzzle in the world, except the pieces are insanely talented humans, and the finished picture is a film that people will feel in their bones."

It doesn't matter where you are in your career; we've all experienced highs and lows and this podcast aims not only to demystify acting and this industry, but to leave listeners encouraged that no two stories are the same.
