Tree is an award winning, London based casting director and founder of the Casting Directors Association. She has worked with major clients both in the UK and internationally and has worked with some of the biggest directors, including Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) ten times.
Tree specialises in casting Films, Commercials, Photographic, Branded Content and is known for her knowledge, enthusiasm and abundant energy (which is often mentioned!).
Tree founded the Casting Directors’ Association to help maintain standards in the industry she loves. Having won a number of awards for casting, she has now cast over 2000 commercials.
Specialising in TRADITIONAL CASTING (finding actors/models) and STREET CASTING she is also known for her work with CHILDREN. Tree has worked on many award winning commercials, advertising campaigns, films and music videos; she is also a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion in all aspects of casting.
With over 20 years’ experience Tree has built up a comprehensive database of 'real' people. Her widely known expertise in street casting has seen her find a very diverse mix of people worldwide and often works with global brands in multiple markets.
Tree has been asked to cast a huge and varied selection of characters over the years - no brief is too hard or too strange however if you want classic looks (or strong niche looks) and classic actors she can find them too!
