169. Betsy Ware Fippinger // Casting Director
Today on What's My Frame I'm joined by Casting Director, Betsy Ware Fippinger. Betsy has trained under some of the best Casting Directors in New York, including Meredith Tucker and Ellen Lewis. As a Casting Associate and Assistant she worked on projects directed by Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Bo Burnham, Greg Mottola, and Lynn Shelton.
Betsy won an Artios Award for her work as the Casting Associate on the pilot episode of ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’. As a Casting Director, Betsy cast Sarah Friedland’s ‘Familiar Touch’ (in theaters now, and winner of three awards at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, including Best Debut Film) and co-cast Nicholas Colia’s ‘Griffin in Summer’ (winner of three awards at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival, including Best Narrative Feature).
She also cast the lead youth roles for Kelly Fremon Craig’s ‘Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,’ for which she won her second Artios Award. Before entering casting, Betsy worked at HBO and The William Morris Agency, and taught at Indiana University. She graduated with a BA in Film from Wesleyan University in 2003.
Betsy's openness and heart for actors is evident in this conversation. We chat about creative process and a few of her recent projects. One of my favorite quotes from this episode is "doing what you love regardless of the outcome". Now let's get to the conversation.
