Pam Gilles has developed and operated an independent casting company for 35 years. Http://www.gillescasting.com Last month she cast a SAG Lowes commercial spot http://atomicdirect.com and a non-union spot for http://www.bts.com. The diversity in both jobs will tell you how she cover’s quite a range of actors, from hiring the next co-star of Hunger Games for a Lowes commercial, to finding non-union actors who could memorize 23 pages a day for less than $500 per day. Pam held just two days of casting sessions and had plenty of choices. Hence, to say that the new name of ‘Close Call Casting’ emerged. Last year’s feature length film Spiders 3D, a Nu-Image film, should hit theaters this year. Earlier this year Pam cast a short film called Elegy, https://www.facebook.com/ElegyForARevolutionary?ref=ts which is currently winning several awards. Particularly proud, this casting was a one day straight to director casting session, and hiring 10 lead actors at the end of the day. All actors came in off book nine pages of dialogue. Currently, Pam is attached to cast a 6 million dollar animated feature length movie called ‘BiBee’, by author David Seuss, the cousin to Dr. Seuss. Pam is also named as the sales agent. Pam has recently optioned a book called Pilgrims of War; http://www.pilgrimsofwar.com -a story about Italian Immigrant camps in the 1940’s that she is producing. In the past year Social Marketing has played a huge part in her daily activity, researching 17 hours a day for 3 months to educate and take advantage of the free universe in marketing technique.

On a personal note, Pam has raised an Autistic son to the age of 18 and has been an advocate for Autism.
