In addition, the department curates a tastemaker screening series, which has become a vital stop on the awards circuit.
Schroder comes to CAA from Netflix, where she served as a publicist working on campaigns for films including The Fear Street trilogy, The Adam Project, the streamer’s most watched movie, Red Notice; and the upcoming fantasy epic The School for Good and Evil. She also worked on release and awards campaigns for Marriage Story, Mank and Over the Moon.

This marks a return to CAA for Schroder, who was an assistant at the agency earlier in her career.
