   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.

   Adele Ashley (casting director) Adele Ashley began her film career as an actress, but the bulk of her performing credits came from a professional opera career in Europe. She eventually returned to the U.S. to finish her degree at Smith College (2002) with a B.A. in music. While she enjoyed working in the arts, she was ready to move beyond performing. It was then that she considered returning to the film industry, and turned her eye toward casting (inspired by fellow Smith alum Juliet Taylor). Torn between staying in New York and returning home to L.A., she spent the summer interning at New York Women in Film and Television (NYWIFT) in an effort to learn about the industry in New York. On a trip home she had the privilege to meet former casting director Lea Stalmaster, who helped her design a career strategy. Adele returned to L.A. for a crash course in life behind the camera. She interned at IFP/LA and eventually graduated into a freelance position as a script analyst for IFP/LA and Court TV in New York. In less than a year, she was invited by a NYWIFT contact to cast a short film. Since then she has been working on referral as a full-time casting director, dividing her work between New York and Los Angeles. In her brief 18-month career, she has cast eleven films and three television pilots.
