Vanessa Neimeyer of Ncasting is currently the extras casting director for South of Hell, the WeTV series shooting in Charleston, South Carolina. For those in North Carolina that travel to SC for work, Vanessa has created a cost saving facebook page!
“To help with cost maybe some of you can car pool. So if you get a booked with me and would like to share the cost of gas you can go to my site and see if there is anyone who is also booked the same day. For safety reasons you can always email me to make sure the person you are thinking about traveling with is also on my show.”
Smart thinking Vanessa! Thanks for looking out for peeps! LIKE THE FB PAGE NOW!

The Hollywood Premiere Gala will take place in the glamorously transformed museum, and will start with guests posing on a step-in-repeat entrance in front of paparazzi cameras. Inside, guests will be delighted over the dramatic decorations, extravagant dinner fare and libations, and ear-pleasing strands of Sidecar Social Club.
If you are unable to join us at the premiere gala, the exhibition will be on display at the museum from November 15, 2014 to September 6, 2015.

This exhibition celebrates the more than 3,000 movies, documentaries, commercials, school videos, and television shows that have ties to our state.
These films and television shows are just a sampling of the productions showcased in the exhibition: Firestarter, Dirty Dancing, The Last of the Mohicans, Weekend at Bernie’s, Dawson’s Creek, and Tammy.
