Casting in September in NYC
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009We will be flying to NYC for casting-preperations on September 6th.

Over the period of 8 months she and composer/director Götz Neumann worked very closely to create what we feel is an exceptional choreography. It was exciting to see it all come alive and our great cast after weeks of rehearsals performed it and inspired our crew to create some truly awesome shots. See what Karen had to say about the process in a short interview we took with her during a shooting break.
