WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY!
"Without question, Toni Cusumano is the best casting director I have ever worked with. Her dedication to our project is incredible – she will go to any length to do what is best for a film. Best of all, she does it with a great “can do” attitude that separates her from the rest. Our project would not be nearly as well cast without her. Bravo!"
Jim Fleigner, Hangin' Hams Productions LLC
“Toni continues to come through for us when we most need it. We’ll work with her again and again.”
Josh Dilworth ,eighty-watt cinema
"Toni has done amazing work for two of my projects, airing on History Channel and the A&E Television Network. Great talent, great coordination, great enthusiasm and a work ethic like no other. Whether Pennsylvania, New York or other, she will find what you are looking for."
Sammy Jackson
Producer, Director
"Toni rocks!
She did the impossible when we rolled into town and needed lots of local young talent. Without her, and all the great local actors and extras, there's no way we could have made our movie, Wet Hot American Summer.
Later when we returned to do a no-budget music video she was equally indispensable coordinating just about everything. "
-David Wain Director, Writer, Actor
"Film production on location is no easy task, especially if you're a student working with a shoe-string budget, bringing out a cast and crew of 30 from New York with you. My producer and I were grateful for having Toni as a contact in a place we knew nothing about. Toni not only helped us find and secure locations but also put us in touch with other film-related people and institutions for permits and help. Without her, our production wouldn't have been a success. I hope to come back and shoot again in this beautiful, film-friendly area, and especially work with Toni."
Daniel Falcone
MFA film candidate, Columbia University
"Working with Toni has been one of the best experiences of my filmmaking career. Regardless of budget, she not only works within it, but finds me exactly what I need at the cost I need it. I look forward to working with her from now on."
Chris Bray Producer/Director
"Toni Cusumano has proved to be a great source for quality talent, both for the feature films our company produces, and television shows. She is thorough, efficient and adds a personal touch to every project she has cast for us."

What makes a great casting director is the ability to climb into a
script and see the sub text of every character through the
director/writer's eyes, no small feat, and nobody does that better thanToni. Working with her is a dream as we go through the all to prevalent last minute schedule changes and the additional 11th hour casting requirements that affect most films today. She makes all of that drama effortless and lets me as a director concentrate my creativity where it need to be. She is the director's casting director!
