🧩 #35YearsOfCastingWithShasta This year marks 35 years as a Casting Director. Whhhaaaat? My story began in 1991. Richard Picton, a photographer I bartended for in the Magic Building, suggested I’d be great at casting. I was tasked with finding 35 people to shoot in a hockey rink for a Molson Canadian poster. Months later, someone from the ad agency called, inquiring about using some of the photography talent for motion. They wanted to know if I was the agent or the casting director. “What’s the difference?” I asked. “An agent makes a commission, and casting gets paid off the top,” was the reply. “Well, I’m the casting director, of course.” I’ve cast everything from a bed-wetting spray commercial to winning my first Cannes Lions for Egale in 2025. January 2026 marks 8,929 career jobs, from a simple hand demo to finding “Gary,” the face of Canadian Tire, and negotiating an eight-commercial deal with an agent who initially would not submit him for consideration. This is the year of giving back. If you need help on a PSA and are an ad agency or an established production company or director, I can offer my services by casting your PSAs pro bono. No strings attached. Help me cast 35 PSAs this year. Contact me: [email protected] Shasta Lutz. CDC. #JigsawCasting

🧩 #NewWork for @coorslightcanada (Only Canadian Casting) Director: @guyshelmerdine Production House: @softcitizenx Line Producer: Natalie Jacobson. Canadian Casting Casting Director: Shasta Lutz, CDC There’s bound to be more goals than ever scored this summer. And more goals scored means more celebrations. Which in turn means more chances to raise a Coors Light. That’s why we’re temporarily changing the brand’s name by turning the classic “Gooooal” celebration into “Coooors,” with the help of the iconic announcer who made the call legendary, @andrescantorgol #JigsawCasting
