BRAND NEW CLASS! Join us for a 2-Week ONLINE TV & Film Intensive with TOP UK Casting Director Sophie Kingston-Smith! This class is for actors 16 years old and up and will be held online via Zoom. You will be working on scene study, cold-reading and audition techniques. This will be a live, interactive class with a Q&A and the opportunity to perform for and get feedback from Jennifer. You will be able to download the recordings of your performances for educational purposes only. You may also share your headshot, resume, and acting reel(s) with Sophie for feedback and instruction only. All materials will remain under the studio’s control and will not be used for casting, employment, or representation purposes.
As well as working with Rose, Sophie also collaborated with Lucy Jordan to co-cast Eli Roth's 'The Faceless Lady', a cutting-edge stereoscopic 3D VR horror series playable on Meta's Horizon headset.
She has also cast several short films, including Academy Award and BAFTA qualifying 'Edicius' (dir. Uzo Oleh) and '5 Stars' (dir. Remi Itani), shortlisted at several prestigious festivals including the British Short Film Awards and the BFI London Film Festival. She has been working with the National Film and Television School, as well as independent filmmakers developing proof-of-concepts in a variety of genres, which are currently seeking investment for televisual and film development. She also voice-cast 'Lusus', a fiction horror podcast series for BBC Sounds which featured voice work from Morfydd Clark, Patsy Ferran and Ncuti Gatwa.
Sophie finished working on a series with Karga 7 earlier this year and is developing an independent feature with Natives Filmworks, scheduled for 2026.
