An Evening With… Lisa Essary

Lisa Essary currently works with Heidi Levitt on feature films. She is currently working on the film, Vivaldi. When she isn’t working with Heidi, she moves to other offices…but she always carries her workshop files with her!

Background: While in New York attending graduate school, someone asked her to help them cast a Coen Brothers film. After that, she then went to commercial casting while also casting student films at night.

She was then offered a chance to cast a pilot for Dreamworks which brought her out to LA where she finally landed with Heidi Levitt. (She’s also worked with Danny Goldberg).
