19 Jun KSF Artists of Choice: US Film Selection Panel
Today we rounded up two weeks of interviews for KSF Artists of Choice with the US Film Category. Working alongside the KSF Team we had a small but perfectly formed panel to join us as we crossed over the finishing line.

Film/ TV includes the independent feature The Inherited, the upcoming Showtime series Billions, and he currently plays Meechum in the Netflix series House of Cards.
Samuel Roukin is a New York-based British actor whose film credits include Happy-Go-Lucky and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts I and II. His TV work includes DCI Banks, Appropriate Adult and the Richard II, part of the cultural Olympiad of Shakespeare, directed by Rupert Goold and produced by Sam Mendes for BBC2 and NBC.

KSF Artists of Choice is a pioneering funding and mentoring initiative for UK and US based emerging artists working in theatre, musical theatre, music, dance or film. Epitomizing KSF’s aim of ‘sending the elevator back down’ it will provide funding, year-round support and mentoring by industry heavyweights. Once we’ve completed shortlist interviews in the UK and the US, we hope to announce our award recipients by early July.
