Neely Gurman is a great casting director (and person!) to get to know. If you’re in La, I highly recommended you take one of her workshops. She has great insight into the business and she always tries to call in former workshoppers for any of her projects.

She casts both union and non-union projects and and just wrapped a music video and a short film about the holocaust.

Keep an eye out for her breakdowns on Actors Access!

Here’s the interview:

You’ve been working on your own now for a while, how do you like it?

Well, I love it.

How long have you been on your own?

Like 3 years.

How do you get your jobs?

A lot of hustling. You have to hustle, know a lot of people and do a lot of networking. It’s like living a nomadic lifestyle. Its almost like an actors life.
