Barbie Castro
Barbie Castro is a one-woman dynamo. Born in Miami Beach, FL, she is a hard working actress and producer who knows how to bring a project full circle from beginning to end. She has a keen eye for talent and a great sense of business. She has created a name for herself as a prominent entrepreneur in South Florida.
In 2011, Barbie Castro formed 'Concord Films [us]', LLC and starred and produced Conduit (2011) a short film directed by Alyn Darnay . She won several Best Actress Awards in the 2011 Film Festival Circuit, including Best Actress in a short Film at the New York City International Film Festival, Buffalo Niagara Film Festival and FMPTA Crystal Reel Awards. In 2011, she also wrote, produced & co-directed a Pilot called Miami 3 Oh 5 (2012) which won a Silver Award at the 2011 California Film Awards in the Television Pilot Division, as well as a Silver Sierra Award at the 2012 Yosemite International Film Festival in the Television Pilot Competition.
In 2013, Castro was named a Semi-Finalist in the NexTv Acting & Directing Talent Search for her work in Conduit (2011). The short received over 16 accolades, including Best Produced Script at the 'FMPTA Crystal Reel Awards', Golden Reel Award at the Nevada Film Festival and Best Faith Based Film at the Action on Films International Film Festival.
The passion didn't stop there as Castro was determined to not only act in, but produce feature length films. In 2013, her first feature film, Assumed Killer (2013) premiered on Lifetime starring Armand Assante, Casper Van Dien, Eric Roberts and Castro. In 2015, she produced and co-starred in her second film, Patient Killer (2014) once again opposite Van Dien. 2017 brought two more successful TV movies to the A&E networks, Boyfriend Killer (2017) and Girlfriend Killer (2017)
"My original intention was not to make KILLER movies. I just fell into it and now I love the idea of having a KILLER library of movies...it's branding for my company as well. When people see KILLER in a title of a movie, I am hoping they automatically think it's a Barbie Castro, 'Concord Films [us]' production."
In between films, Barbie Castro is a prominent Real Estate Broker and Real Estate Investor in South FL. She continues to juggle her acting and producing passion with her real estate success, and has recently added music clients to her company's roster. Barbie credits her parents, loving husband, Eric R. Castro, and two beautiful daughters, Rhys Kelly Castro and Taylor Castro as her greatest accomplishments.
