Jessica Pruehs is one of the Casting Directors at Casting™. Originally from Alabama, she moved to Atlanta in 2015 to pursue a career in film and quickly immersed herself in the industry.

Starting as a background actor, Jessica worked her way through a variety of departments and roles, often volunteering her time to learn as much as possible and gain hands-on experience. She joined the Casting™ team in 2021 after the birth of her daughter and has since led multiple projects, including Wolf Pack, Hysteria, and Found (Season 1).

Jessica also contributes to social media and website projects for Casting™ and serves as a film consultant for her former high school, helping students explore careers in the film industry.

Outside of work, she enjoys attending Atlanta United games, coaching her daughter’s soccer team, and binge-watching her favorite shows.

Her biggest piece of advice for anyone getting started in film:
✨ “Get as much experience in as many departments and roles as possible — it all connects.”
