Aaron Schoonover
Three-Week Film and TV Class
Aaron is a bicoastal casting director and filmmaker based out of NY/LA. His credits include SEVERANCE, TEENAGE BOUNTY HUNTERS, CITY ON FIRE, THE TENDER BAR (Directed by George Clooney), as well as dozens of indie films.
"I love casting because it is extremely multifaceted. A bit of directing, an understanding of the actor’s process, mixed with elements of producing. My strengths when it comes to casting: thinking outside the box. Spotting emerging talent. Advocating for representation. Extremely grateful to have worked with Emmy & Artios award winning casting directors: Jennifer Euston, Bess Fifer, Rachel Tenner, Patrick Rush."
Space is limited. The class is on Zoom. Tuesdays March 4th, 11th, 18th from 7:30-10:00pm EST - $250

For your first week, you'll be in class with just Misha as she gets to know your work and prepares you for class with Aaron. You'll present scenes that you choose live with a reader and receive feedback from Misha, and then get a recording of your work when you're done. You'll also get a chance to ask Misha questions in a live Q&A. Classes will take place at a rental studio in Manhattan.

You'll work on a comedy and a drama scene each week, respectively, and Aaron will watch your work and provide feedback. Each class will have a Q&A with Aaron and Misha, and you'll receive a recording of your work.
