''As a Canadian director I have recently done 2 movies in Ireland using Cashell and he has more than outdone himself and most other Extra’s Casting I have ever worked with in Canada and in Ireland. His  friendly and personable manner made it a joy not only to work beside with but a delight just to see him on set. Whenever I see Cashell on set I know everything is taken care of in the most reliable and professional manner and I needn’t worry about anything. I would never want to do a movie in Ireland without having Cashell being a part of it.  I highly recommend him and agency.''

" I have worked with Cashell on a few Hallmark films with him as Extras coordinator, he was right on brief and went over and beyond to source the right extras, looking after his extras with care and consideration. Look forward to our next job together."

 

 

[Edwina Forkin,  Producer]

''Having worked as an extra on a couple of film sets, Cashell stands out. He made everyone feel valued, learned all our names, and clearly communicated what each scene required.  His humour and genuine concern for our comfort kept morale high. Thanks to Cashell, potentially gruelling days became enjoyable experiences, made me eager to return whenever his name was attached to a project.''

[Martin Makarovs]

" Thanks so much for everything last week. Loved been an extra. Thanks again and best wishes,
Roma"

[Roma Boyle]

[Liam Hughes]

''Cashell was our extras casting director and coordinator for the film 'Love of the Irish' that shot in West Cork late 2024. Cashel did a fantastic job in casting local talent; we even ended up using some of his finds for cast roles. He was diligent and flexible and built a great rapport with the crew and the background cast that he sourced and provided. We were so impressed that we used him on our next two films that shot in Dublin and will continue to use him into the future.''

[John Norton - Line Producer]
