Actors - Emma Taylor

 We have decided to use actors from the local stage school 'Valley Academy', as they have plenty of experience and we think that it will give our film trailer a professional look. Many of the actors here I have worked with on my own films (music videos and short films) so I know they are reliable and work well on set. The actors also know each other well, meaning that this relationship will convey well on the screen.

Sophie Wooding - Zara
  We have cast Sophie Wooding to play the part of Zara in our production as Sophie has played similar roles well in stage productions, such as We Will Rock You. Sophie is a talented and dedicated performer and I really think she'll rise to the challenge. She has performed well on set before playing an emotional teenager in a short film we made over the summer. Sophie is studying Drama and Dance at Sixth Form College and she has been acting since the age of 13. Sophie also won best actress at the VADAs this year.

Clare Fletcher - Grace

We have cast Clare Fletcher as our lead role to play the character of Grace. Clare has brilliant stage presence and works well on set, having previously worked with her on a music video. I think she has a great look of innocence about her, which will display well on the screen. Clare is currently performing the lead role of 'Audrey' in the musical 'Little Shop of Horrors' and is studying 'Performance' at the prestigious Pendleton acting college in Salford.

Sam Newsham - Charlie
We have cast the role of Charlie to Samuel Newsham, a brilliant young actor who is studying musical theatre at Accross College. Sam performed in our AS Level coursework last year, playing the part of 'Joe' who committed suicide, and we were all impressed with his professional performance. He's been acting from a young age on stage, and hopes to have a career in acting. Sam recently played the part of Joseph in 'Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dream Coat' and bowed to a standing ovation most nights. Sam won 'Best Actor' at the VADAs and has LAMDA qualifications.

Grant Bromley - Mr. Eastwood.

Grant Bromley will be playing the part of Mr Eastwood in this production. I have worked with Grant since the age of 11 on both stage and screen. He has a BA (Hons) in Acting and set up his own stage school 5 years ago. He takes part in both amateur and professional shows, including the role of 'Tony' in West Side Story at the Palace Theatre, Manchester. He has also played the part of the 'Beast' in Beauty and the Beast at many professional venues.
