Nicole Smolen

Nicole Smolen has a passion for telling stories that raise important questions and challenge viewers to look beneath the surface. In addition to top-tier commercials and music videos, she has produced several award-winning films, many of which have debuted at prestigious film festivals. Nicole was an actor first, so this informed her process at Verve Casting. From 2018 to 2024, she discovered the right performers for commercials, print campaigns, music videos, and a wide range of theatrical projects. In 2022, she cast over 150 performers in the 8-episode revival of the cult classic, Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, hosted by Jonathan Frakes-also associate-producing Season 5 and writing an original story for the premiere.
