Cast Iron Studios

We're taking a leap and following our dreams! 💫

After more than 20 wonderful years working together, Lana and Eryn are excited to announce that they are now spreading their wings professionally.

Beginning this week, Eryn is launching her own casting office, Eryn Goodman Casting, while Lana will lead Cast Iron Studios as a boutique casting company, so she can further expand her European footprint.

Lana will remain available for select theatrical projects, and Eryn will be continuing her casting work in the Northwest and beyond — business as usual.

We’re both incredibly proud of the work we’ve done together over the years and grateful for the many collaborations and relationships that have grown out of that time.

While our offices will now be operating independently, the spirit of collaboration and support remains the same. We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to continuing to work with you.

Thank you all, as always, for your trust and partnership over the years.

Warmly,

Lana Veenker

Exciting news to share from The Pander Brothers about a film we loved working on!

“After being stuck in distribution limbo for a number of years ALTERED EGO (originally titled SELFLESS) is now available for the first time in wide release on Prime Video!

“We could sure use your help now in getting reviews up onto Prime. Just a few short sentences and a Star-Rating will go a long way in getting the movie pushed forward to viewers online.

“Rent ALTERED EGO on Prime Video here for as low as $1.99: https://bit.ly/AlteredEgoMovie-Amazon

“Community support is critical to the success of indie films and a review from you, your family, friends and community will make a big impact.

“Thanks for supporting local independent filmmaking!”

Altered Ego Dylan Gray, a rising star architect, unknowingly triggers his own downfall after mocking Wesley Stone, a deadly identity thief, while waiting for a flight. As Stone targets him, Dylan's ambitions blind him to the impending danger.

Happy TWENTIETH(!!!!) Anniversary to the one and only Eryn Goodman CSA, Casting Director Extraordinaire! Eryn joined us in 2005 after interning at O'Connor Casting in Chicago. One destined resume found its way to Cast Iron Studios, and the rest, as they say, is history. She is a graduate of Western Washington University with a B.A. in Children’s Theatre/Directing, a former CSA Board Member, and a strong advocate for actors, known for making them feel comfortable in the room and on the Zoom. She's also a mom to two terrific daughters and an amazing florist on the side. Give her a big shout-out for helping to provide world-class casting right here in the Northwest, whether it's on feature films, episodic television, print, or commercials.
