I’ll be in #Cannes from May 12–15, participating in conversations around creative packaging and cross-border collaboration. If you're a producer working across European co-productions, particularly at the intersection of talent, financing, and international positioning, feel free to reach out.

To go from exchange student in my teens to President of the International Casting Directors Association to Member of the European Film Academy, I could not be more grateful and proud, especially knowing how exceedingly rare it is for Americans to be admitted. #europeanfilmacademy #EuropeDay 🇪🇺🇺🇸

The European Film Academy announced a new chapter for Casting Directors & a new Award for Casting on 2/5. A huge milestone for our profession, highlighting the creativity & expertise casting directors bring to European cinema. #casting #europeanfilmawards the-ICDA.com

Quote by Matthijs Wouter Knol, CEO and Director of the European Film Academy in white italics on a red background, with ICDA’s and European Film Academy’s logos underneath: “With the introduction of the first member chapters at the European Film Academy, we applaud that the work of casting directors can be further acknowledged this way. Excellent casting has been instrumental in the creation of remarkable films, and the casting of European talent beyond national borders is an essential part of building a European film culture with recognisable stars. The work of casting directors, with the late Simone Bär serving as a memorable example, is crucial for compelling storytelling. The European Film Academy will work closely with ICDA to increase the connection between European casting directors and the wider European film community.”

Quote by Lana Veenker, President of the International Casting Directors Association, in white italics on a red background with ICDA’s and EFA’s logos at the bottom: “The creation of a European Casting Director Award is a truly landmark moment for our profession. This achievement is the result of years of advocacy by our members, the faithful friendship of our industry partners, and above all, the hard work and support of our colleagues at the European Film Academy, to whom we extend our deepest gratitude. We look forward to further strengthening our partnership with the European Film Academy as it joins the global movement to recognize casting as one of the fundamental cornerstones of storytelling and cinematic excellence.”
