    rex sikes

    Date / Time:

    Category: Film

    Call-in Number: (347) 202-0333


    Casting Director Jackie Burch says about casting “It is a career i cherish and love doing to this day. Every movie i start with the same attitude as if it is my first job.” Her over 60 film credits include “The Breakfast Club” “Mask” “Weird Science” “Commando” “Three Amigos” “Predator” “Coming to America” “Dick Tracy” “Road House” “Die Hard” “Die Hard 2” “Predator 2” “Hudson Hawk” “Beverly Hills Cop 2”“Vegas Vacation” “I Still Know What You DId Last Summer” “End of Days” “The Santa Claus” and many more. After teaching for awhile in another profession (teaching sign language) a friend asked her to come work for him while his assistant was gone. That person was Michael Chinich who was head of casting at Universal and Jackie agreed to do the work. She states she “literally fell into this career but once i was around it I was hooked...... I had no typing skills and had to be trained by someone in the big tower over the phone but i loved it. I soon wrote a little book to teach the next person because at the time there was so much paperwork to do........ After being around this job I wanted to move up. I couldn't do it here so i went into the independent world and began my life in casting.” “I used to do all the casting but never meet the director when i worked for various people. After being in the field for a while, Michael asked me to come back and be on staff.My first movie was Psycho 2 and then i started 16 candles and the rest is history............... My sign language has come in handy because I Taught an actress it for a Hot Shots part Deux and some signs to the monkeys in Project X  when the deaf consultant had to leave.........” We are glad to have Jackie share her knowledge about movies, casting, working with actors - what actors need to know about the casting process and auditioning and much more.

    Rex Sikes' Movie Beat chats with acting coach Trilby Jeeves

    I am excited to be able to speak acting w Trilby Jeeves. Trilby is an actor, instructor, and writer from Vancouver, Canada Born in Vancouver, Canada, spent her childhood in Banff, Alberta, and Prince Edward Island, Trilby Jeeves was the first English student to be theatrically trained in her second language for 3 years at “Le Conservatoire d'Art Dramatique” in Quebec City, where she discovered “Le Bouffon”. She went on to perform and direct in both languages across Canada, eventually coming back to Vancouver. As well as performing over 40 plays, she also worked for 20 years in the theatre & film industry as a set costumer working on T.V. series such as “Highlander”, Spielburg’s “Taken”, Paramount’s “Higher Ground”; feature films such as Disney’s “Angels In The EndZone”, and “The Lizzie McGuire Movie”,” Universal’s “Snow Falling On Cedars” and many more. Trilby has taught classes in improvisation throughout the school system in British Columbia, and is currently teaching her own popular “Buffoonery Acting Workshop” in Canada & the USA. As a writer, Trilby is developing her own one-woman show. She also works for the Vancouver Film School as an actor for both the writing and directing departments. With partner Peter D. Marshall, she shares in teaching the “Directing the actor” workshop for film students worldwide. "Buffoonery Acting Techniques" with Trilby Jeeves is a 2-day journey of discovery for actors on how to tap into truthful performances. Actors will gain more confidence, and more understanding where emotion resides in the body. Each exercise leads the actor to an improved performance for both the camera and the stage. The goal of the workshop is to awaken the actor to their potential, understand more who they are, and give the actor a tool they can use on their own for auditions, rehearsals and performances.
