This year, the Spy is expanding its commitment to the Chesapeake Film Festival by co-producing a monthly podcast with CFF Executive Director Cid Walker Collins and her dedicated team of volunteers. The series will feature in-depth conversations about the films being presented throughout the year, offering listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the creative forces behind them.
In our third episode, Irene Magafan, the CFF’s new board president, sits down with casting director Kimberly Skyrme. With notable successes such as House of Cards and True Lies, Kimberley talks describes her accidental start in casting, passion for storytelling, championing diverse talent, mentoring newcomers, and empowering women and locals in film.
This podcast is approximately 30 minutes in length. For more information and to purchase tickets for the Chesapeake Film Festival, please visit this link.

Loved this interview. Artistic people are, by nature, emotional in their approach to work decisions. I really appreciate that as a great counterpoint to the business world that is mostly rational and analytical. A small part of the business world is political/behavioral, but that is a world view that I, as a Mechanical Engineer can’t relate to and seems counter productive.
