Spotlight joins WeAudition and CSA Casting Directors at the Sundance Film Festival to discuss the future of casting<\/h3>\n

The Sundance Film Festival is a mainstay of the festival circuit, bringing artists and audiences together to showcase independent filmmakers from across the globe. In addition to sparking bidding wars amongst the studios for films destined to become this year\u2019s indie darlings, the gathering also includes panel events that inspire lively discussions about the state of the film industry.<\/p>\n

This year,\u00a0we\u00a0teamed up with\u00a0WeAudition<\/a>\u00a0to talk about the future of casting, offering glimpses into the casting process, how the industry is pushing towards more inclusive and authentic casting and how actors can position themselves within this emerging landscape.<\/p>\n

As one of the panellists, Matt Hood, Managing Director of Spotlight, found great value in the discussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great to be on Main Street in Park City during Sundance to talk about the Future of Casting with some of the CSA\u2019s leading casting directors. Alongside an audience of performers, directors and producers, the panel covered some fascinating topics, particularly around how Talent Systems\u2019 technologies don\u2019t just support the artistry of casting directors, but also how we push forward diversity and inclusion in our industry together. It was energising and reaffirming to know we are all pulling in the same direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

The panel was hosted by WeAudition co-founders Darren Darnborough and Richard Cambridge and, in addition to Hood, also included casting directors Jessica Sherman, Amanda Lenker-Doyle and Lindsey Weissmuller.<\/p>\n

During the hour-long discussion, Hood said that he believes that the evolution of casting practices requires being deliberate about making diversity, equity and inclusion into industry standards, and highlighted how Spotlight is helping the industry to pursue that future.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlatforms along the way have been somewhat gatekeepers into the industry,\u201d said Hood. \u201cAs a platform, [Spotlight] make[s] sure we take initiatives that really widen access to the casting process. Because if we can put people in front of casting directors through our platforms that they\u2019ve not seen before, then I think that\u2019s the first step to making sure people we see on screen or on stage are as diverse and inclusive as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weissmuller agreed and pointed to the current moment as one that will shift the way that casting happens in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that we have hit sort of a new moment in casting with COVID, and COVID is going to change things in ways that we cannot predict. I can\u2019t wait to see how it does,\u201d she noted. \u201cWhat I do know is that we\u2019re going to keep looking for authenticity in performances \u2013 and not just authenticity in performances, but authenticity in actors themselves. [\u2026] And I think that\u2019s something that didn\u2019t exist maybe even five years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if the pursuit of authenticity makes the job harder, Weissmuller elaborated on what the approach may look like as the industry forges ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt does mean a lot more nontraditional approaches to casting. It means more open calls, it means more worldwide searches. It means that sometimes, if authenticity is the most important thing for a role, it might mean there\u2019s not somebody who is already a big-name actor who is going to fit the bill, so there\u2019s more openness to putting actors who have not necessarily starred in a movie as a star in a movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Panellists also encouraged the actors in the audience to develop relationships with casting directors they want to work with, stressing the importance of always presenting their authentic selves and keeping the long view in mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the big thing, especially at this moment in history [with] the relationship between actors and casting directors, is that most actors want it to happen right now. And most times it\u2019s not going to happen right now,\u201d said Sherman. \u201cWe have a long-term relationship between casting and actors, and the goal as an actor should be to build the relationship, and then the work will follow, as long as you\u2019re preparing yourself for the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lenker-Doyle agreed, giving a glimpse of how casting directors think and work.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresenting yourself in an authentic way, showing us what else you\u2019re interested in as a human being, aside from acting, I\u2019m super interested in that because that makes you really interesting. That gives me ideas about what you might be right for. [\u2026] Even if you\u2019re not right for something that I\u2019m doing right now, I will remember, \u201cOh yeah, oh, he codes. He knows how to code, that\u2019s super interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the onus of casting diversely ultimately rests on casting directors and other stakeholders in any given production.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is always our responsibility to think outside of the box, in every situation,\u201d Lenker-Doyle explained. \u201cObviously there are situations where we\u2019re looking for something very specifically authentic, and if that is the case, then it\u2019s hard to kind of go outside of the box. But if we\u2019re presented with a character breakdown that\u2019s very open and neutral, then we\u2019re presenting all sorts of different options, because that\u2019s our job. Because it can really go any way. And tonally, that\u2019s, \u201cOh, this is not what was in your head originally, but what if we tried it? So what if this would work?\u201d<\/p>\n

Hood chimed in with his support for opening overly-specific roles to a more diverse talent pool.<\/p>\n

\u201cCasting directing has really led the way in pushing back against unnecessary specificity in breakdowns. Why does that best friend have to be yet another white male who can run and play basketball? Why can\u2019t people with diverse backgrounds be in that role?\u201d Hood explained. \u201cBut what\u2019s key is [that] the burden shouldn\u2019t [only] fall on the casting director.\u201d<\/p>\n

The panel\u2019s message was clear: The responsibility for ensuring productions are as inclusive as possible ultimately belongs to everyone.<\/p>\n
