This week, we sit down with Amy Hutchings — casting director, Sesame Street alum, photo producer, and proud Hudson Valley local — for a conversation that spans decades of creativity and reinvention.
From working with Jim Henson in the early Sesame Street days, to producing tens of thousands of photo shoots, to casting indie horror flicks and cult comedies, Amy’s career has been anything but ordinary. We talk about diversity in media, raising artists, stolen Big Bird feathers, and why sometimes the best path is the one you didn’t plan.
It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and full of behind-the-scenes magic.
