A little story time! The first time I saw Omete Anassi (@ometeanassi) was in June 2018 in a self tape he sent in for a supporting role in the short film BLUE (shoutout Ashley Eakin @asheakin). The scene was short but his performance immediately stood out among the 100 or people we auditioned for the role. ⁣
⁣
In February 2020, Omar Kamara (@oskamara) (and the amazing Guo Guo (@guoguocricket)) reached out to me about casting a short film - Mass Ave (@massavefilm). It was the thick of pilot season and I was already working 12-14 hour days and I had PROMISED myself I was not going to take on anything else until the summer. But I took one look at the script and thought “well this one is basically going to cast itself because I happen to know EXACTLY WHO THIS WAS WRITTEN FOR!” Of course Omar immediately recognized Omete’s unnamable spark and thankfully Omete agreed to come aboard.⁣
⁣
In May 2022 Omar reached out to me about casting African Giants (@africangiantsfilm), a feature with Omete attached as the lead! I was obviously immediately on board. We needed to find another actor to play Omete’s brother and we all knew it had to be someone special. I remember exactly where I was when I first watched Dillon Daniel Mutyaba’s (@yodillondaniel) audition tape and had the same feeling that I did the first time I saw Omete’s. Of course Omar and his incredible producer Leo Blumberg-Woll (@lennyynardo) immediately saw his brilliance too. A bunch of other stars aligned and here we are - Slamdance 2024. ⁣
⁣
Working with a director and producer duo like Omar and Leo is a casting director’s dream come true - they are champions for artists, generous collaborators, and brilliant artists themselves. I’m so proud and beyond thankful to have been invited in to the burgeoning Omar Kamara Universe and excited for the world to be blessed with the immeasurable talents of Omete & Dillon and the rest of our incredible cast.⁣

Thank you so much for having me on @whatsmyframe! It was a joy talking to you about all things casting 🎥🎬

Today on What's My Frame? I'm joined by Casting Director Suzanne Yavuz. With credits like NCIS: Hawai'i, S.W.A.T., Cruel Summer, GOOD SAM; along with her time at 20th Century FOX specializing in tentpole comedies Suzanne has extensive insight to share into the world of casting! Today we discuss how a background in communication and a say yes attitude can lead to a career you love. Like we've said before on the show, everything you do in your field is leading you towards your ultimate career. Suzanne's grace and humor towards the business is refreshing. She shares valuable insight and advice for the procedural space, some straight talk on headshots and the important role they play when accurately representing you so your auditions won't pass you by. Suzanne also shares one of the most empowering pieces of advice we've had on the show regarding auditions; one I guarantee will change your approach to your next audition! ​​​​​​​​
