Casting director Jennifer Venditti's process is rooted in "chance encounters with strangers" who capture her imagination. She typically approaches them with a simple opening line: "Can I ask you a question?".
'Can I Ask You a Question?' is an in-depth exploration of Jennifer Venditti's unconventional casting process, which brings to life films and series such as 'Good Time', 'Uncut Gems' and 'Euphoria'. With over 300 pages of original casting photographs, texts by Venditti, and interviews and contributions from collaborators including director Josh Safdie, photographer Alec Soth and casting scouts Eleonore Hendricks and Michele Mansoor, the book offers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the work of one of cinema's most visionary figures.
