Some Facts About Castille Landon
Quote: Castille Landon has commented that she began to write and direct her movies because she wasn’t able to find “roles that I loved and I was getting cast in a bunch of indie things that never got the financing together. It’s hard enough trying to get cast in something, but then when it falls through, it’s heartbreaking.”
