Different Types of Casting

By Steven Libowitz   |   March 19, 2024

Web-slinging hero Miles Morales returned last year in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, released five years after the smash hit Into the Spider-Verse claimed the Academy Award for animation. The sequel, which features breathtaking animation that pushes the limits of the form and also received a nomination, features a large cast of Spider-People, paying homage to the character’s extensive history across decades, countries and media forms. As part of the Carsey-Wolf Center’s Black Hollywood series, director Kemp Powers will participate in a post-screening discussion of the film at UCSB’s Pollock Theater on March 16. 

The Santa Barbara Fly Fishers of the Central Coast host the premiere of the Fly Fishing Film Tour 2024, a short film series that features experiences of the angling technique from around the globe, including wrestling peacock bass in the Amazon, conservation efforts in the Bahamas, a look at growing up with a fly rod in the Pacific Northwest, among others. Representatives of the organization will be on hand, as will its community partners, including The Mayfly Project, Merito Foundation, and Casting for Recovery to raise awareness of the work they are doing: introducing foster children to fly fishing their local waters, teaching conservation to students and teachers inside and outside of the classroom, and hosting fly fishing retreats for women with or recovering from cancer, respectively. Attendees can also enjoy food and drink at the event at the Lobero on March 19. Details at www.lobero.com.
