Studio Yolanda’s first feature film, “They Are Discriminating Against The Blobs,” a parable about anti-xenophobia and anti-hate, has won numerous festival awards and is available to watch for free on Youtube.

In preparation for our 2nd feature film, please see the casting call below:

There are several potential projects written for small cast sizes, stunning minimalist set pieces, and made to help the careers of everyone involved. If you think you may be interested in working together please reach out. All cast and crew positions will be considered, and producing partners are welcome. I am incredibly flexible, and can even write a new part/script for the right person or group of actors! 

For the purposes of posting the casting call: please respond with the corresponding department you would like to be considered for! I will reach out as soon as possible. I am currently finishing my MA in England and hope to film in the Los Angeles area in the fall.
