CASTING
Our writer and Director, Daniel Roebuck, has said that one of his favorite parts of making GETTING GRACE in The Lehigh Valley was discovering great new talent and putting it on the screen.
THE HAIL MARY will offer similar opportunities for local talent. Valley Casting director, Rod Gilkeson, will be looking for new (mostly young but a few older) faces and established actors to round out a cast featuring many of Hollywood's familiar faces.
