| Adele
began her career as a performer in film and on
stage. But after graduating from Smith College
(’02) with a B.A. in music, she was ready
to move beyond performing. An internship at New
York Women in Film and Television (NYWIFT) and
two freelance positions as a script analyst at
Film Independent (formerly IFP/LA) and Court TV
were instrumental in her decision to become a
casting director. In less than a year, she was
casting her first film for a NYWIFT member. Since
then she has been working on referral as a full-time
casting director, traveling between New York and
Los Angeles. In her 2 ½ year career, she
has cast fourteen films and three television pilots.
Her most recent credits include Goff-Kellam Productions
soon to be released, Out at
the Wedding, starring Mike Farrell (Providence,
M*A*S*H*), Reginald
VelJohnson (Die Hard,
Die Hard II, Family
Ties), Mink Stole (But
I’m a Cheerleader, Pecker,
Pink Flamingos) and
Charlie Schlatter (Police
Academy: Mission to Moscow, Heartbreak
Hotel, Ferris Bueller);
God’s Waiting List,
directed by Duane Adler (Save
the Last Dance, writer), starring Roger
Guenveur Smith (Do the Right
Thing), Nicki Micheaux (Their
Eyes Were Watching God, The
Shield), Felicia Day (Warm
Springs, Buffy the
Vampire Slayer), Jo Anne Baron (The
Prince and Me, Spiderman
II), Lauren Tom (The
Joy Luck Club) and Ingrid Oliu (Real
Women Have Curves); Menage
a trois directed by Kimberly Wetherell,
which won a Best Actor and Best Actress Award
from the Chicks with Flicks festival; The

L Word), directed by Cherien Daibes Naffa

33 festivals in the U.S. and abroad. Her upcoming
