Destiny Lilly

Casting Director. Curator. Content Creator. Culture Maven.

My greatest strength is finding and fostering new talent. I started my own business a few years back and that allows me to work on innovative new projects with emerging filmmakers and artists. In my work at the School of Visual Arts, I get to work with students and help build the next generation of filmmakers. I believe in the power of diversity and representation, and my goal is to create a more inclusive approach to casting & talent development.

I'm not afraid of a challenge and I've been known to turn over every stone in search of the right actor for the job. I go beyond casting websites to meet new actors and follow their careers as they grow and develop. I know the SAG-AFTRA contracts backwards and forwards, and I take pride in my ability to work with colleagues from all walks of life.
