Today on Whats My Frame? I'm joined by casting director Bella Hibbs! Bella had an unconventional route to joining the family business and owning her own office, Good Faith Casting; we'll dive into more of that in the episode. Good Faith Casting covers projects in Arizona, New Mexico, and Los Angeles for Film, TV, and commercials. Bella brings a fresh and honest approach to casting; sharing it's more than just contacting agents and putting actors on tape, it is about bringing a story to life with the right actors! 

Today on What's My Frame? I'm joined by Casting Associate, Satchel Buck Jones. Satchel hails from the cow-less fields of suburban Iowa and still retains that small town charm! After majoring in Theatre Arts & Creative Writing from Coe College, Satchel followed his dreams New York City. By a chance connection he found himself interning at Telsey + Company, and quickly realized casting and working with actors was his passion! 

Since his start Satchel has worked with legendary Casting Director, Ellen Lewis, Allison Estrin & Henry Russell Bergstein of Estrin/Bergstein Casting, Cody Beke and Seth White of Beke/White Casting to name a few!

In 2019 Satchel moved to Los Angeles and again quickly landed on his feet, this time reteaming with Telsey in their West Coast office! Today he shares his views on the future of virtual casting; and what he's learned in the room working with some of the most prestigious offices in NY & LA!

Today on What's My Frame? I'm joined by fellow Virginia native, Miss Mary Page Nance. Mary Page and I just met 2020, though while growing up in the art rich culture of Southern VA our paths nearly crossed countless times while training at VSA or working with the incredible unicorn herself Mia Micheals. You'll have to excuse the Virginia girls because this episode gets a little Southern, especially when we get on the very important topic of biscuits! But in all seriousness Mary Page shares her journey from Richmond to Broadway, the heartbreaking rejection that comes with chasing your dreams in New York; and catching those rare shooting star opportunities that as actors were all dreaming of! She shares behind the curtain insight into the rehearsal process for Finding Neverland; a role she originated! She also shares the phone call that changed her life and so, so much more! Please join me in welcoming the lovely Mary Page Nance to the show!
