Synopsis

Equity's Live Stream Program continues with casting director Anousha Zarkesh (Mystery Road, Series 1 & 2, Rake, Redfern Now, Cleverman) in conversation with actor Charmaine Bingwa.  Anousha and Charmaine will talk to a group of Australian and NZ Equity members online about the casting process. Charmaine Bingwa was awarded the 2018 Heath Ledger Scholarship, the 2018 Equity Atlantic Scholarship and received a Sydney Theatre Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 2017. She most recently starred in a soon to be released Amazon Anthology series and the indie feature Trees of Peace. Also an accomplished writer, she received critical reception not only for her award- winning series Little Sista, but also for her writing on short film Stille Nacht, which premiered at Flickerfest. Her latest directorial work In the Shadows (2019) was selected to be part of APRA AMCOS’ Screen SongHubs 2019. In 2018 Charmaine made history becoming the first person of color to be awarded the Heath Ledger Scholarship in its ten-year duration. She is currently in isolation in Perth.
