THE CASTING DIRECTORY*SOCIAL WELCOMES RISA BRAMON GARCIA
The Casting Directory*Social started as a conversation between Grad Film’s then 2nd year students Molly Ascher, Perry Blackshear, Cole Wiley, and Area Head, Acting - José Angel Santana. They were trying to find a way to solve the problem of casting our NYU projects with the best actors possible. Now TCD*S has become a rich resource and virtual place for actors and directors to meet, share work, and information about making movies, for the NYU GradFilm, and more. Risa Bramon Garcia brings her experience and talent as a Director, Producer and Casting Director who has cast over 65 movies including Desperately Seeking Susan, Wall Street, Something Wild, Angel Heart, Fatal Attraction, Born on the Fourth of July, Talk Radio, JFK, Sneakers, The Joy Luck Club, True Romance, Speed, How To Make An American Quilt, Dead Presidents, Twister, and Flirting With Disaster and numerous television shows, including Roseanne, CSI:NY, and the recent Universal/NBC pilot, The Cape, which was picked up for 2011.
RISA'S FULL BIO:
“Risa posted a single mention about TCD*S on her Facbook group "Risa Bramon Garcia Master Class and Coaching" and it generated hundreds of visits to our site. Already she's invited actors she's known to our community. It's great. I think Risa joining and jamming with us online is a sign that we are onto something that can be a model for a more decentralized approach to collaborating to make our work and sharing it with the public. ” - José Angel Santana

JOHN CAZALE: REMEMBERING HIM - "I KNEW IT WAS YOU" - HBO
Director: Richard Shepard
"John Cazale's resume as a film actor isn't long, but it's distinguished. Cazale appeared in five feature films, and each one received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, while three of them -- The Godfather, The Godfather Part II and The Deer Hunter -- won the category. Al Pacino, who made three films with Cazale, considered him one his finest acting partners, and many film buffs cite Cazale as one of the best actors of his generation.
But Cazale was thirty-seven years old before making his film debut after distinguishing himself in the New York theater community, and shortly after completing work on The Deer Hunter, cancer claimed his life in the spring of 1978.
I Knew It Was You: Rediscovering John Cazale is a short documentary celebrating the life and art of Cazale, featuring clips from his memorable performances and interviews with friends, colleagues and fans, including Meryl Streep (who was also Cazale's wife), Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Gene Hackman, Francis Ford Coppola, Sidney Lumet, Steve Buscemi, Philip Seymour Hoffman and many others. I Knew It Was You was an official selection at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival." - Mark Deming

ROBERT BRESSON QUOTE
PICKPOCKET- Directed by Robert Bresson"My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water." - Robert Bresson-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
