This week, I&#39;m joined by casting director Jennifer Schwalenberg for a conversation about discovering talent, honoring authenticity, and creating opportunities for voices that deserve to be seen. Jennifer shares her journey from commercial casting in Los Angeles to building a career in New Mexico, where she has helped connect filmmakers with the diverse communities and talent that bring stories to life.We discuss the art of casting real people, the importance of representation, and the unique perspective that comes from casting across film, television, and commercials. From Dark Winds to her work with emerging talent, Jennifer offers an inside look at the people behind the casting process and the responsibility of finding the right person for each story.
