BIO:
For the past 30 years, Scarlett has been immersed in the theatre, film and television idustries. Over the years she has contributed to major productions as an actor, casting director, producer, director, writer and acting coach. She is the owner of Leo Management talent agency in Vancouver.
In January 2013 Scarlett, among others, spearheaded the #SaveBCFilm movement PSA's. Scarlett cast, produced and coordinated a cast of close to 100 well-known actors and respected film industry professionals, such as Amanda Tapping , Kristin Lehman , Mackenzie Gray and Adrian Holmes , who appeared in front of the camera to show their support for the industry and to educate the public on the benefits of having a thriving film industry in Vancouver.
Through her work behind the camera, Scarlett was eager to learn more about the role talent agents played in the filmmaking process and developing an actors career. From 2009 - 2012 she worked at a Vancouver based talent agency, applying her experience as an actor, casting director, and producer to help her clients secure work in some of Canada's biggest productions. Scarlett then challenged herself to create a new way of approaching talent management and founded Leo Management in 2013.
