Casting director Jennifer Venditti’s process relies on ‘chance encounters with random strangers’ who capture her imagination. She usually engages them with a simple opener: ‘Can I ask you a question?’ This book is a thorough exploration of Venditti’s uncommon casting process that brings real life to narrative films and series including Good Time, Uncut Gems, and Euphoria. With over 300 pages of original casting photos, writing by Venditti, plus interviews and contributions from collaborators including director Josh Safdie, photographer Alec Soth, and casting scouts Eleonore Hendricks and Michele Mansoor, this book is a rare behind-the-scenes look at the work of one of film’s most visionary figures.

The Question that changed Everything…
As an actress who’s had a problem with learning how to get casting to see the most authentic version of yourself in under 5 minutes-reading “Can I Ask You a Question” by Jennifer Venditti. It’s not just a casting book—it’s a mirror for every outlier, every dreamer who’s been told they’re not the right “type.” Venditti sees people, not products. Her process is about truth, not perfection. For the first time, I felt like maybe being different isn’t a disadvantage—it’s the very thing that could get me seen. For so long, my question was: “Will they ever cast someone like me?” But after reading Can I Ask You a Question, that’s changed. Now, the question is: “What truth do I want to show them?” Because being seen—really seen—isn’t about fitting in. It’s about showing up as you are. Jennifer Venditti reminded me that my difference isn’t a liability—it’s my gift.- Tonya W
