On March 9, 2023 "lewks" were SERVED at our annual Artios Awards. To pay homage to all of these bold fashion choices, we had some reality casting directors from Next in Fashion, The Hype, and Queer Eye to weigh in with their expertise!

Compiled by Joy Gordo

Destiny Lilly CSA President

"The floral metallic and leather combo power suit gives me life. She slayed!"

Joy Gordo Casting Producer

Jodi Thomas The Hype on HBOMAX Co-Supervising Casting Director

Amber Ruffin NYC Host

Josh Ropiequet Artios Winner

I feel like so much thought was put into her whole look, a necklace with this gorgeous purple piece would have taken away from how beautifully the ruching of this piece falls perfectly on her body. The make up also looks spectacular, and I love the earrings! A 10/10 for me!"

"It's giving me Moira Rose chic and it's everything".

"Please tell me this look was inspired by the dress worn in the now iconic Wednesday dance sequence! AND please tell me there’s video footage of Erin doing the iconic dance! All jokes aside, I don’t think you can ever go wrong with a classic black dress I particularly love the sheer part of the dress I think it makes the dress look more elegant and timeless! *Now excuse me while I go practice the Wednesday dance…..I’ll dance, dance, dance with my hands…* -

Rodrigo Moreno

Netflix's Next In Fashion

Casting Producer

LaChanze Artios Honoree

"I think this look is pure perfection. Everything about this look, from the beautiful emerald green long-sleeve dress, to the tiered earrings, as well as the hair and make up are on point! This is an A+ look for me! #chefskissemoji"

THELOOKS THEVERDICTS

LEFT: "Love a collarless shirt- let that velvet jacket do the talking!" - Quinn Fegan, Queer Eye Casting Director

LEFT: "Great fit and accentuated with a classic watch." - Jodi Thomas, The Hype on HBO MAX, Co-Supervising Casting Director

BOTH: This decision is very á la Sophie’s choice, and I will leave this decision to the readers I think they both look amazing, and they both should be proud of their stylish choices! They’re both winners in my book! - Rodrigo Moreno, Netflix's Next In Fashion Casting Producer

LEFT: "We love a flirty shawl!" - Quinn Fegan, Queer Eye Casting Director

RIGHT: "She's having a lot of fun with this dress and it shows!" - Jodi Thomas, The Hype on HBO MAX, Co-Supervising Casting Director

BOTH: "I don’t think I could choose one over the other 2023 is the year of setting boundaries for myself, and I’m setting one right now by not choosing one look over the other! #personalgrowth" - Rodrigo Moreno, Netflix's Next In Fashion Casting Producer

THELOOKS THEVERDICTS

LEFT: "Hello power stance! A woman in a bold suit will always win for me!" - Quinn Fegan, Queer Eye Casting Director

LEFT: "She is ready to get down to business!"Jodi Thomas, The Hype on HBO MAX, Co-Supervising Casting Director

LEFT: "I think they both look great in their stylish green suits! However, there is something about a woman wearing a chic suit that I just love. I also think the white tube top with the green suit is the perfect color combination! I also love the necklace, which completes the whole look! Again, they both look fantastic but I think she wore the green suit better! Her look is also giving me “Alexa, play The Man by Taylor Swift” vibes…a vibe I’m so here for!" - Rodrigo Moreno, Netflix's Next In Fashion Casting Producer

BOTH: "Tough call- can we agree that these two both win for adorability?" - Quinn Fegan, Queer Eye Casting Director

LEFT: "Spot on!" - Jodi Thomas, The Hype on HBO MAX, Co-Supervising Casting Director

BOTH: "This one is tough because they both look great! I love that they both took a risk by wearing a busy and colorful dress shirt under a classic suit jacket It definitely makes them stand out, and I think their fashion choices paid off They both killed it! Plus with smiles like that, I think they both can pull off any look!"Rodrigo Moreno, Netflix's Next In Fashion Casting Producer

10QUESTIONS WITH LESLEE FELDMAN

WHAT’S THE ONE THING PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU:

My favorite dessert is coffee chip ice cream and hot fudge from Grunings on the Hill One of the only things I would never share with anyone Still a Jersey girl at heart.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN:

In the great state of NJ

WHAT IS THE BEST COMPLIMENT YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED:

You raised an amazing daughter.

WHEN DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU WANTED A LIFE IN THE ARTS:

When my 5th grade class trip was going to the UN, I firmly decided when I grew up, I had to be a guide there But shortly after, my mother took me to a Broadway play - and also showed me some of her favorite movies - that did it – although, I never even imagined it would actually be possible back then.

IF YOU COULD BE A PART OF ANY FILM, TELEVISION SERIES OR PLAY IN ALL OF HISTORY….WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY:

When I was growing up - any Leonard Goldberg tv series - loved them all- or The Mod Squad- Pete, Linc and Julie were so cool and of course The Mary Tyler Moore Showshe led the way. Then I saw The Godfather, An Unmarried Woman and Kramer vs. Kramer - and thought movies! Although I loved casting all those commercials first though!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF BEING IN THE CASTING ROOM?

So rare to be in a casting room now, that just being in there sounds so good! Favorite thing is just watching an actor really connect to a character and bring something great to a reading. And then seeing a director be excited and agree.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE BOARD GAME? Backgammon

WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING RIGHT NOW?

Tiny Beautiful Things, Shrinking, Yellowjackets, The Last of Us, Succession and so much more.

WHAT’S A SUPERPOWER YOU WISH YOU HAD?

To solve climate change - we may need a superpower to make that happen.

WHAT’S THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED THIS YEAR?

It’s early in the year but being honored by the CSA, my colleagues, friends and my boss - definitely the highlight.

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE DRAG QUEENS

BY CHARLIE HANO

Tennessee House Bill HB0009 defines “Adult cabaret performance" as “topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, or similar entertainers, regardless of whether or not performed for consideration;” The bill goes on to say;

“(1) It is an offense for a person to engage in an adult cabaret performance: (A) On public property; or (B) In a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.” This bill is slated to go into effect on July 1, 2023. On December 7th, 2023 the national tour of Mrs. Doubtfire will begin performances at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.

Hi friends My name is Charlie Hano and I’ve been a member of CSA since 2021 This year I think I became the first openly transgender man to win an Artios Award, which is pretty cool! I’m a lifelong musical theater nerd who lives on the upper west side of Manhattan, and in certain parts of the country, it’s now a crime for me to sing at a karaoke bar. But this is beyond that, let’s talk about actors. Let’s talk about casting.

When I spoke to a representative from Governor Lee’s office as to whether or not the upcoming tour of Mrs. Doubtfire would be illegal under these new restrictions, the young man could only give me the response “I do not know.” When I asked to speak to someone who could answer my question, he was unable to provide me with such assistance. He did, however, inform me that he watched the original Mrs. Doubtfire movie as a child, and is a fan. At least fourteen states are trying to pass similar laws,

meaning that Mrs. Doubtfire is far from the only show that could find itself in legal limbo. The national tour of Moulin Rouge is scheduled to perform at two different locations in Florida. Now going beyond musical theater, how could these laws be applied to Shakespeare? Does A Midsummer Night's Dream now count as drag? When I spoke to Jerry Mitchell, he informed me that the producing bodies for the non-equity tour of Hairspray have a fund dedicated to assisting actors with any potential legal issues they may face, for doing their jobs.

Any law that restricts performance will eventually come back to casting Actors will not want to audition for shows that could land them in jail, and producers will not want to raise money for ongoing bail funds. So where does this leave us? What can we do to protect our community and our livelihood? In an ideal world, we could partner with Actors' Equity, and sue these states for infringing on our right to work and our freedom of speech. We can also donate to the ACLU’s Drag Legal Defense fund, call the representatives of every state considering these laws, and commit to casting trans, gender non-conforming, and drag performers, in projects where we know they will be safe and legally protected. The arts have always been, and will always be a community that celebrates misfits Let’s stand by each other, while we still can.

CASTING ASSISTANT PATHWAY PROGRAM

MAKES ITS MARK ON THE NBCU LAUNCH PROGRAM AND BEYOND!

The NBCU Launch Talent & Casting Development program was yet another game changer and resourceful gem on the journey up Witnessing the company’s connections and fluid network has opened meuptoawholeanotherRolodex.Icannot only call the casting professionals I worked with and learned from colleagues, but I was also able to gain sincere relationships with other young professionals in development and current programming. I unlocked more avenues of understanding the business through collaboration and I will definitely use the priceless tools I gained from each departmentinallfuturecreativeventures.

I’m grateful to have been a part of new iteration of the NBCU Launch Casting Assistant Training Program in 2022 It was truly a unique and valuable experience that really set me up for success for my current position as a casting assistant Training at both the network and in an independent casting office gave me a well rounded experience and a solid foundation on which I was able to start my casting career Everyone I worked with was so kind and generouswiththeirtimeandknowledgeand made sure to make me feel included and part of the team. I wish the new trainees much success throughout their time in the program and look forward to hearing more LAUNCHsuccessstories!

These are just a few of the manycastinggreatswhoputthestarsweknowtodayincinemaandtelevision screens around the world Then emerged the icons that fought for representation pertaining to diversity and gave the world a deeper glance at thedifferentfacesthatmakeAmericawhatitistoday Fromsomeofthemost amazing performances by the legendary cast brought together in 1985's “The ColorPurple” byReubenCanon, iconicfilmclassicssuchas “StandandDeliver” and “BoyzntheHood” castbyJakiBrown, andthecontinuousworksbyVictoria Thomas and Kim Coleman; the increment in representation in film and television has finally been seen A significant portion of the North American population, however, would remain unrepresented or misunderstood; mainly thatoftheLatine/Latinxcommunity

The arduous machine known as "Hollywood" had little knowledge of the complexity of the Latine community. Sure, Jose Ferrer was the first Latino to be nominated for best supporting actor in 1948 Anthony Quinn would take the Oscar in 1952 and 1956 Rita Moreno would win in 1961 It would take 29 years until the next nomination for Andy Garcia, andanadditional 10 forBenicioDelToro’swin. The numbers of the overall Latine representation, however, hasremainedminiscule In 2022, Latinerepresentationwas just 5 2% ofleadactorsand 5 1% ofco-lead/ensembleactors in feature films Even smaller, has been the number of Latinecastingdirectors BobMorones ClaudiaBecker Julia Flores The amount of Latine casting professionals continuedtoremainminute Thenroseavoice Avoicethat would transcend limitations From Mexico City to Los Angeles, the voice would showcase a particular talent for castingthroughoutallLatinAmerica Avoicethatnotonly has fought and stood firm with the importance of Latine representation, but one that continues to educate on the vastness and definitions of our community This is the voiceofcastingdirectorCarlaHool

Carla Hool was born in Mexico City; her family being involved in the arts for a few generations. Her great grandmother was a founder for El Pecime (Periodistas Cinematograficos de Mexico), her grandmother a ballerina and choreographer, who worked with Mexican legends Pedro Infante and Cantinflas. Her father, Conrad Hool is a producer known for a plethora of films including “Man on Fire”, “One Man’s Hero”, and “2Hearts”.

“SinceIwaslittle, mydadwouldbringmetosetwithhim, ” saysHool “Ineverreallyconsideredbeinginthebusiness I studied art history and wanted to study art restoration But I got married young, had twins, and ended up becoming a yoga teacher Then came the divorce, ” Hool laughs

“One day, out of the blue, my father called and said ‘Hey, I’mshootingafilminMexico, andIwantyoutoworkwith me ’

“MydadlivedinLAandIwasinMexico, andeventhoughI had gone to set with him many times before, working in theindustrynevercrossedmymind Peoplealwaysasked me ‘Areyougoingtobeactress?Youshouldbeanactress!’ And I would always respond ‘no’ I’ve no personality for that. Itwasn’tuntilmydadinvitedmetoworkwithhimand gave me a position in the casting department, that it becameareality, ” Hoolsmiles.

C O N S I D E R E D B E I N G

I N E V E R R E A L L Y

" Y O U H A V E A G O O D E Y E . "

Hool was made a casting supervisor, where she worked with a local casting director and carefully watched the process. Shesatinauditions, visitedset, andherloveforcastingbegan.

“Bothmydadandmyuncle, whoisalsoa producer, told me, ‘You should do this. There aren’t many professional casting directors in Mexico, you’re good with people and have a good eye ’ He was right So, I did I opened an office and l learnedontheway ”

Hool was always aware of the lack of Latine representation in the bigger Hollywood productions, but before she became an advocate for representation, she would absorb and learn all that she couldinhernewprofession.

To understand Hool’s beginning of her journey, one must understand the following. The casting process in Mexico is drastically different. Especially back in its day. Though much of it has changed throughout the years, some of its core fundamentals have remained the same. For instance, it’s common for the producerstopackagetheirownprojects, meaningtheyareresponsibleforcasting most of its leads They have most of the celebrity direct contacts as most actors do not have representation there Some of the casting directors that did exist, servedasanagencyaswell

“When I started, there was a lot of corruption in casting in Mexico Some casting directors would charge actors a commissiontocastthemintheirfilmand Itriedmybesttohelpputastoptothat.

“We don’t see it happening as much anymore, but I occasionally still hear it happens. I fought for Mexican actors. Back then, many American films would shoot in Mexico. Mexican actors were not compensated properly nor treated respectfully Ifeltobligatedtobringitupto producers ThatishowIfoundmyselfbeing anadvocateforactorsfromthestart ”

It wouldn’t be easy for Hool to start She wouldcreateherownsystemincasting, for in Mexico, there is no real platform for actors Breakdown Express or any similar services are nonexistent still She would have to rely on her network of actors that shehadestablished.

“It’s a lot of word of mouth and who you know. ” Hool explains. “Actors would just come into the office to drop off their materials Iwouldwatchalotofmoviesand go to the theatre Back in those days I had bindersfullofheadshotsandresumesthat I would go through It was a very different systemthantheonewehavetoday ”

Hool would gain a respestable reputation forhertalentincasting, fromcommercials to local films including ‘Zapata – El Sueño DelHeroe’ and ‘VocesInocentes’ Shebegan taking on more important and prestigious projects as the local casting director for ‘The Librarian: Quest for the Spear’; ‘Man On Fire’; ‘The Matador’; and “Nacho Libre” . Hersolecastingdirectorcreditforamajor Hollywood film would finally emerge in 2005, inMelGibson’s ‘Apocalpyto’ .

“Whatwasthatprocesslike?” IaskHool

“It was very different ” Hool responds “I never had an experience like that Mel Gibson does not audition people; he only interviews them So, all I did were interviews He wanted something very specific

“Howlongdidittaketocastthefilm?” Iask

“Wehadfiveweeks. Itwascrazy. ButIhada bigteamandwemovedfast. ”

Other notable projects came to Hool thereafter such as ‘Vantage Point’; ‘Che: PartsOneandTwo’; ‘BeverlyHillsChihuahua’ and ‘Quantum Solace’ as additional and locationcasting

In 2007, about 5 years after Hool began her journey in casting, the number of films coming to Mexico began to decline Though itwasdifficult, HooldecidedtomovetoLos Angeles Like many of us, she would place herbetinHollywood

“It was a shock and I had to learn a new way of doing things!” Hool says “There’s a cultural differenceintheindustryforsure InMexicowe all know each other We hug, we kiss, we talk And here it was a bit colder Even the audition process is totally different In Mexico I would take at least 30 minutes with each actor We wouldsayhello, talk, rehearse, andIwouldwork withthemuntilwegotitright Iwasthrownoff when I realized that actors in LA were used to coming in the room, doing the scene one time, maybe two if you give them notes and leave. There wasn’t enough time to dedicate each actor 30 minutes. So, I had to adapt to the differenceinrhythm, butIdecidedthatIreally wanted to keep the warmth that we Mexican peoplehave Thatwasimportanttome ”

“Didyouhavetolearnalotinregardtohowwe docastinghereintheUS?” Iask

“Ohyes ” Hoolsays “Ihadtostartfromscratch, learnawholenewwayofdoingcasting Ihadto learn about SAG rules, get to know agents and managers and the differences of what they do In Mexico, Latin America and Spain actors only haveonerep Thecastingtoolswerealsonewto me I had never used Breakdown Services I remembertalkingtoamanagerontheveryfirst project I cast here, and she said, ‘I don’t remember seeing a breakdown for this ’ And I asked, ‘ …what’sabreakdown?’ Webothlaughed We didn’t have any of these amazing tools in Mexico! The pace is also so much quicker here. There are so many more actors, and the competition is larger. You really need to have thickskintosurviveinthisindustry. ”

Hoolsoonrealizedthatthebusinessandpower dynamics in Hollywood were entirely different Protocols, communications, regulations; theyall projectedanewplayingfieldthatsheneededto learnquickly

“You have to understand that the differences aretremendous InMexicoforexample, casting directors don’t make the offers or handle the deals, producersdo Wecastthetalent, andthen passitontotheproducerswhohandletherest ”

“Wasiteasyforyoutofindworksinceyouhad allthesefilmsunderyourbeltinMexico, ordid youhavetoestablishyourself?” Iask

“I came here and had to establish myself from zero ” Hool says “A handful of casting directors and producers knew me for they had hired me whenIwaslivinginMexico Butthatwasaboutit Nooneelseknewme IrememberthefirsttimeI was nominated for an Artios award, the guy in charge of taking my pictures looked at me and said ‘Wheredidyoucomefrom?I’veneverheard your name ’ (Carla laughs) My response was simply, ‘I’ve been around for a while ’ It really tookmesometime.

“At first I was hired to just cast the one or two Latine roles in different projects. I usually didn’t even get credited for my work ” Hool says. “That happened for a long time Then again, there weren’tmanyLatinerolesbackthen ”

Soon approached a project that would change the trajectory of her career A television series thatafterafewcomplaintsfromsomeofitscast members, needed guidance with their Latine talent ThatprojectwasFX’s ‘TheBridge’

“I received a call from Elwood Reid, the Showrunner He told me that Demian Bichir wasn’thappywiththeauthenticityinthecasting ofthefirstseason, sohebroughtupmynameto him ”

The series took place in the Texas-Chihuaha border, itscastingrequiredaspecificsearchthat initstime, itsimperativenesswasoverlooked.

“With all due respect, it wasn’t being cast authentically. ” Hool explains. “The accents were all over the place. You had Puerto Ricans with a PuertoRicanaccentplayingMexicans ”

The conversation regarding Latine authenticity has always been complex and quite sensitive I remembered speaking with Hool earlier in the yearforthe “MiGente!” Initiativeandherwords echoedinmymind

“There was a lack of knowledge with regards to the diversity within the Latine community They didn’t care if they cast someone with a ColombianaccenttoplayaMexican Theywould tell me ‘Who cares, we don’t hear the difference intheaccents ’ Iwouldsay ‘No, maybeyoudon’t hear it, but the entire Latinx community DOES heartheaccentsanditdoesmatter ’

The best comparison that Hool would use is, ‘You don’t hear an Irish actor play an American role speaking with an Irish accent It would be thesamething ’

The truth is what many Latine filmmakers and thefewLatinecastingprofessionalscontinueto express Just because we are Latine does not automatically mean we all come from Mexico The misconception that we all look and sound the same emerges from people failing to understand that we are not a monolith. Latin America consists of 33 countries, with a vast community and a plethora of cultures and accents Mexico itself has multiple accents and dialects, justastheAmericanpopulationsounds different throughout the country This is not to say that a certain person from another Latine country cannot play a Mexican, but the accent must be learned, and a responsibility is owned totheculture; thatwemustupliftandincrease representation for our communities, to eradicate not just the lack of our people in the mainstream media, but the misconceptions of whoweare

“This was one of the first things that I started speaking up about, ” Hool says “The lack of authenticity and respect in the representation oftheLatinxcommunitywasprettyshockingto me I decided that it was imperative to start havingtheseconversations. ”

Despite Hool’s expertise and experience however, there was hesitation in hiring her as thesolecastingdirectorontheseries.

“They were nervous about it, ” Hool says “They feltIwouldn’tbeabletocasttheAmericanroles Buttheygavemethebreakandhiredmeasthe sole Casting Director for the second season of ‘The Bridge’ I had previously cast the second season of ‘Eastbound and Down' which also helped Having those two shows, gave me the confidencetosay, I’mnotgoingtodojustoneor tworolesanymore Ifyouwanttohireme, you’re goingtohavehiremetocasttheentireproject, notonlytheLatineroles ”

It was a boost to Hool’s career She’d go on to cast ‘Casanova’ starringDiegoLuna, ‘The 33’ with Antonio Banderas, and ‘Sky’ with Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus Then would come a show that would change history for Latine talent aroundtheworld, theNetflixhitshow, ‘Narcos. ’

“Idobelieveabigpartofthesuccessof ‘Narcos’ wasduetothecasting Itwassodifferent Itwas fresh IenjoyedworkingonitbecauseIwasable to cast talented actors from many different countries, without worrying if they were known or name actors in the US I was able to cast the bestactorsforeachrole ”

“Narcos” would premiere on Netflix in 2015, spotlightingawidespectrumofLatinetalenton a global scale. The first two seasons followed Pablo Escobar, played by Wagner Moura. The third and fourth seasons renewed in 2016, the fourth later being announced as a series reset titled “Narcos: Mexico” starring Diego Luna. The show would prove to be a tremendous success, showcasing talent such as Pedro Pascal, Tenoch Huerta, Diego Calva, Paulina Gaitan, Adria Arjona, Juan Pablo Raba, Manolo Cardona, and manymore Theshowwouldbringaboutherfirst ArtiosnominationforOutstandingAchievement inCastingforTelevision

Hool would then sign onto many notable pilots and series including ‘Los Espookys’ , ’East Los High’ , ‘Selena; The Series’ , ‘Gentefied’ , ‘Gordita Chronicles’ , ‘This Fool’ , ‘Primo’; all shows with a strong iconic presence within the Latine community Someofthefeaturefilmsshewould alsocastwouldbe, ‘MissBala’ , ‘Rambo: TheLast Blood’ , ‘2Hearts’ , ’Stars At Noon’ , and one of her personalfavorites: Pixar’s ‘Coco’ .

“Whatwassospecialabout ‘Coco’?” Iaskher.

“Coco was a beautiful project to work on It was oneofthefirstfilmsIeverworkedonwherethe studio, producers, and the director wanted to really create an authentic representation of the Mexican culture That’s why I was brought on as CastingDirector, tomakesurethatthefilmwas castauthentically ”

And though Hool has become a respectable industryname, hercreditsearningherveterancy and being known as one of the most influential casting directors in the international market, a ratherpeculiarpatternhasnotgoneunnoticed

“It feels like I was pigeon-holed from the very beginning, ” Hool explains “If it wasn’t a Latine castoraLatineproject, Iwouldn’tbeconsidered Itstillhappens

EventhoughmynameisnotLatininorigin, and I don’t look like what people stereotypically believe Latine people look like, they immediately put you in a box of ‘Oh! You’re Mexican! You’reinthislittlebox ’ It’saveryhard boxtogetoutof ”

“Canyouexpandonthat?” Iask

“Well. JustbecauseI’mMexican, itdoesn’tmeanI can’tcastanonLatineproject, butsomepeople can’tseemtograspthat. ”

The words hit me with a crushing reality The unspoken truth that many underrepresented communities struggle to not only just be seen, butalsotoberecognizedforourskillassetsand talent outside of our identities or ethnic backgroundsisstillanissueinthiscountryand in this industry As the few Latine people in the business; from filmmakers, casting directors, actors – we still struggle with this reality This encompasses the reason for our fight for our representation on screen, and just as importantly, behindthecamera

Looking back at Hool’s 20 plus year career and over 140 projects, her remarkable experience undoubtedlydeservesrespect Andthenumber of careers she has initiated or put on the radar to international markets should not go unnoticed. The uncomfortable and bold question I dare ask is, why not a non Latine project for her? Her expertise as a casting director is evident, her specialization for pitching, finding, andidentifyingLatinetalentis all, at the end of the day, exactly that: pure, professionaltalent Knowntalentorrisingtalent that international markets covet today Should the answers be that one cannot see past her background, further fuels our fight and determination for change An experienced and talentedcastingdirectorlikeCarlaHoolshould not be limited to just Latine projects The projectsthatareLatineareveryfew Andwhen thefewLatineprojectsthatdoexistonceagain gotosomeonethatisnon-understandingofour communities and their respective cultures, it unravelsanevenmoreuncomfortabledilemma

“But we should celebrate our wins, ” Carla says “Yes, it is worth it to fight for diversity and authenticrepresentation

It is important for me to educate people in the industry, producers, and executives about the diversity within our community There are 33 Latin countries with different accents each and we have Afro Latinos, Indigenous Latinos, Asian LatinosandWhiteLatinos Wearenotarace Itis important for everyone to understand that It’s rewardingtoberecognizedforthat Iwastalking to a casting executive, and she said that she really does believe that I have contributed to creating change. She still remembers when we wereonthephoneyearsago, andIwasadamant about someone’s (who had already been cast) accent not being the right one. I pushed and pushedandpushed. Sheneverforgotthat. "

“The biggest reward for me is to be able to help change someone’s life That, and fighting for diversity and equality is what keeps me going every day Chris Weitz hired me to cast ‘A Better Life' together with Joseph Middleton and that film got Demian Bichir his nomination for an Academy Award Anthony Gonzalez’s life changedwhenwecasthimin ‘Coco’ , notonlyhis life, hisentirefamily’slife Ikeepintouchwithhis mom, she emails me and texts me every Christmasandeveryholidayjusttocheckinand seehowI’mdoing ”

I sit and smile, and sigh deeply with relief The truthinherwordsstrikeyetagain Theyserveas a fond reminder that no matter how exhausting andstressfulourjobsascastingdirectorscanbe, it’s all worth it in the end. Though we may face situations and certain inequalities, the wins make it all the better, because something was achievedatadeeperlevel.

“Weneedtosupporteachother, ” shesays “Weas a Latine community, as filmmakers, as casting directors We really need to support each other Nos tenemos que apoyar We still have a long road ahead of us to see real change Nos tenemos que comprometer, to do our part, in whatever position we hold, to be able to turn around and help someone that is coming up behind us, help mentor people that are just getting started We need to continue educating peopleaboutourcommunity ”

“Whatwouldyouliketoseeinourfuture?” Iask finally Shesitsquietlywiththisforamoment

“I’d like to see the day when we are all treated equally When there are no more boxes to put diversity and minorities in. Oncethat’sgone, thenourjobwillbedone.

Iclosemyeyesasthesewordsresonated I recognize the determination and vitality withinHool, andmyrespectandadmiration for her deepens I sit and take in her journey, and I commend her courage to fight through it all, independently and completely on her own. A sense of pride swells within me for this comes from a fellow Mexicana, who yet again demonstrates the tenacity of our people. A sense of comfort also comes to me, a hopeful realization that perhaps, we no longer have to do this alone For the few Latine casting professionals, like myself, we’re grateful for the icon that she has become and to have someone like her to lookupto
