From Rose Locke, Casting Agent:
I’m currently casting for Ang Lee’s upcoming feature film, Old Gold Mountain, based on the novel How Much of These Hills Is Gold by C. Pam Zhang. We’ll be filming in the Sacramento area, and we’re preparing rehearsals and storyboarding sessions with both Ang Lee (Academy Award-winning Director) and Emmanuel Lubezki (Academy Award-winning Director of Photography).
