Director Jennifer Venditti makes her directorial debut with "Billy The
Kid". Venditti started her New York City based casting agency JV8INC in
1998. Traveling all over the world, street scouting real people for
advertising, fashion, and film she discovers an inspired repertoire of
diverse talent otherwise ignored by traditional casting methods.
Photographers Richard Avedon and Bruce Weber and director Spike Jonze
are just a few who have been impassioned by her refined aesthetic. It
is her interest in finding the beauty in everyday heroes that provided
her natural transition into filmmaking. While casting Carter Smith's
short film "Bugcrush" (Sundance Short Film Winner 2006) in a rural
Maine high school, Venditti discovered Billy Price whose unique and
winning character inspired her feature documentary.
