An hour-long podcast where we talk with casting directors about their careers, the films they help to make, and how the faces we all know and love found the limelight.

Overview

Placing Faces is an hour long audio podcast where host Charlie Chappell sits down to talk with casting directors about their careers, the films they help to make, and how the faces we all know and love found the limelight.

So what is this show?

Placing Faces was created from curiousity after seeing Casting By, and is now fueled by the amazing conversations and wonderful personalities we’ve met.

The show is an attempt to highlight an all too often forgotten and extremely important role in the filmmaking process, the Casting Director. We have had the pleasure of interviewing the likes of Marci Liroff, Richard Hicks, Donna Morong, Risa Bramon Garcia, John Papsidera, Angelique Midthunder, Robert J. Ulrich, Marsh Goodman, and are in the process of scheduling a many more.

We’ve been building a backlog and we’ll be launching the series publicly very soon. As you can see, we’ve already started with a great group of people and have an eye towards a future of speaking with great deal more. We’re delighted with the feedback we’re getting from casting directors and very enthusiastic about moving forward with the show.

If you have any questions or would like to be part of the show please feel free to reach out to Contact@placingfaces.com at any time. We would absolutely love to talk to you.
