Chevy x Tom Hooper
Back-to-back years of Chevy holiday films brought to you by Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper, and the legendary NYC casting director, Kathleen Chopin.
Sarah and her team are fantastic. Their knowledge of the Chicago talent pool is unsurpassable. The casting sessions are fun and help inject much-needed energy into any project. Best of all, they deliver great talent. Big fan of the work from Compass Casting.

NARRATIVE & DOC
We love commercials because they support our crippling independent film habit. From short films to multi-million-dollar independent features, documentaries featuring legends like Steve James, or music videos with a wide range of musicians, we love casting it all.
Alexis • UPM
"Thank you for being super organized and helpful through all of these fire drills today – it’s refreshing to have an organized and knowledgeable partner."
Morgan • Coordinator
"I wanna call out how much I appreciate how on top of things you are already and let you know it's so nice to work with you already. Thank you, thank you!! I love when we meet new folks who really run a tight ship."
Melissa • Producer
"Sarah, we cannot thank you and your team enough. You all have been nothing short of spectacular to work with."

NON-ACTOR CASTING
All actors are real people, but not all real people are actors.
We've cast for health departments, universities, construction companies, and more when it comes to non-actors. These castings take longer but bring hyper-specific depth and honesty to every story that brings non-actors in.
I wanted to reach out and thank you so so much again for helping us cast this film. We wrapped production Sunday night. You truly helped pick such an amazing and talented cast we could not have done this without you.
Taylor, Narrative Producer
