Home > Casting Department > Casting Assistants > Katia Rio

I am a freelance AP, researcher and creative, with a wealth of expertise in non-scripted high-end content. I have a vast experience in production management, development and casting with the ability to find compelling contributors from a broad array of backgrounds. I'm trained in cinematography, with a good knowledge of camera and lighting equipment as well as editing skills. I have worked on many commercially successful projects from commercials such as Heineken's 'Worlds Apart’ to the feature film ‘UNDERGODS’ and the true crime series Audible podcast ‘93 Women.’ I have worked internationally in places such as France, Croatia, Brazil, and Germany (amongst others) and I speak multiple languages. I’m always very keen to bring my skill set to genre-defying, innovative projects.
