Tracy Lilienfield and Jeff Meshel are casting the CW drama pilot "Joey Dakota," a romantic sci-fi musical about a time-traveling documentary filmmaker who must find a way to save her rock star boyfriend from an untimely death. Based on the successful Israeli half-hour series "Danny Hollywood," the pilot is written by Bert Royal ("Easy A"). Royal is also executive producing with Mark Harmon, Eric and Kim Tannenbaum, and Martha Haight for CBS TV Studios.
Lilienfield's casting credits include the CBS comedies "$#*! My Dad Says" and "The New Adventures of Old Christine," the TBS comedy "My Boys," and NBC's "Will & Grace." Meshel cast the TV series "Life Unexpected" and "The Cleaner," in addition to many television movies.
Nancy Nayor will cast "Shelter," an hour-long drama pilot set at a historic New England summer resort, where the staff must attend to their guests while navigating friendships, rivalries, and romances of their own. "Shelter" is written by "One Tree Hill" creator and showrunner Mark Schwahn, who is executive producing along with J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk of Bad Robot.
Nayor began her casting career Off-Broadway at Manhattan Theater Club in New York, and then moved to Los Angeles, where she worked as senior vice president of feature film casting for Universal Studios. In 1997, she opened her own casting company, where she casts commercials, TV pilots, and feature films such as "Scream 4," "Drive Angry," "The Whole Nine Yards," and "Road Trip."
