Zoë Hartman works as a Production Accessibility Coordinator for Elle Jones Casting. The company was founded by her mother, Elle Jones Hartman. Zoë started her career by moving to Boston to attend college and pursue acting but soon turned her focus from acting to being a Production Assistant to becoming an Assistant Director working in New York and Boston. During this time, Zoë began to lose most of her vision and paused to focus on her health, but this did not deter her from pursuing her dreams of working in the film industry again. Elle Jones Casting was created partly to cast actors with disabilities and provide the needed accommodations. Since then, Zoë has been a Production Accessibility Coordinator for many projects, such as “The Runner,” which was part of ReelAbilities Film Festival LA 2022, The Black Skirts’ visual album “Teen Troubles in Dirty Jersey,” and is currently working on two feature films – one on the West Coast and the other Milwaukee based. Outside of film, Zoë has been an accessibility consultant on a PR campaign with the Miami Lighthouse and for the Retail Action Project and their certificate program.

Zoe is also an actor, stage manager, and comedian. As an actor, her favorite part was touring with Emerson Theater Collaborative, as the lead role of Melanie in Melanie Greenhouse’s autobiographical play “Chestina Vanessa Poulson.” More recently, she has trained with Jennifer Esposito and Susan Batson Studios. Zoë has stage managed with Emerson Theater Collaborative as well. As a comedian, she has performed stand-up at Gotham Comedy Club and other comedy clubs in Manhattan. She also enjoys writing and is working on a script about her story.
