CASTING DIRECTOR BIO
KIMBERLY WISTEDT, CSA Casting Director [Fincannon & Associates Casting]
While stage managing many of the mainstage productions at the University of Florida, Kimberly became fascinated with the process of an actor attaining a role. She sat in every audition alongside the director - hearing his thoughts and reactions to the talent at hand. After junior year of college, Kimberly spent the summer in NYC interning for renowned Broadway casting director Tara Rubin. Post-graduation, she moved back to NYC to intern for casting powerhouse Bernard Telsey. Later there, as the commercial casting apprentice, she ran sessions for such companies as Apple, Macy's, and Target. When city life kept her too far from family and loved ones, Kimberly decided to make the move back to her hometown of Atlanta to take part in the television and film industry boom in the Southeast. Since joining southeastern casting legends Fincannon & Associates in 2013, she's been credited in over 40 television and film projects with three Artios nominations for excellence in casting. She's honored to have been part of the casting director team for such projects as Netflix's "Outer Banks," HBO's "The Righteous Gemstones," Amazon's "The Summer I Turned Pretty," AMC's "The Walking Dead", and many more!
