I am a dreamer. I grew up in Corporate America and learned from some of the best leaders and innovators in the world but throughout my career, never lost the desire to work in the entertainment industry.  I could often be heard from my corporate office saying “someday I will…”  I was saying “someday I will …” for more than 20 years and like so many of us, it took a difficult life-altering event to wake me up.   The creation of Breakthrough Casting was the day I said “today is the day.”

Breakthrough is a result of what happens when you stop listening to all the reasons you can’t do something and instead listen to the voice within that says you can.

Sometimes,just saying “today is the day” is all it takes for a Breakthrough.

Anna grew up in Beacon, NY and has been interested in film and television industries from an early age. In high school she made the decision to pursue a career in film, and earned her degree in Radio-Television-Film from the University of Texas at Austin. It was there that she gained a multi-level understanding of film through both media studies and hands-on production courses. Her experience at school combined with her involvement in Breakthrough Casting has provided immense appreciation for casting, as well as an eye for what amazing casting looks like. She believes both principal and background casting are crucial in telling a powerful and believable story, as well as creating an immersive experience for the audience watching.
