MEET THE CAST
John's journey in performing arts began in his school years, where he discovered his passion for acting, singing, and dancing, inspired by his mother's career.
Since then, he has immersed himself in theatre, film, commercials, and pantomimes.
His diverse portfolio includes works such as Edgar Wright's 'The World's End', and Max Aaron's award-winning 'Stalled'.
John's versatility and commitment to his craft drive his success, as he looks forward to exploring opportunities and pushing artistic boundaries.
We decided to cast John due to his genuine enthusiasm for the project and strong commitment to the character.
He portrayed the role exactly as we had imagined during the zoom audition, whilst also adding his own unique interpretation to the character of Jim.
His dedication to understanding the character and his ability to bring it to life with his personal touch left a strong impression on us. His natural chemistry with Deborah Cordon, as Mary, is shown on screen throughout the film.
Deborah is a seasoned actress with a wealth of experience under her belt. After relocating to the southwest, she found a vibrant community of filmmakers and has since relished collaborating with emerging film companies.
Her repertoire includes short films and independent features, and she portrayed Sara Grant in a Rosamunde Pilcher TV series.
Embracing each role with passion and dedication, Deborah brings depth and authenticity to her characters, captivating audiences with her performances.
We decided to cast Deborah as she portrayed the warm motherly nature that we envisioned for Mary in her self tape and audition.
She refreshingly put thought into the character’s background and motivations and asked frequent questions about the character which showed her passion for the role.
Deborah's reactions perfectly encapsulated Mary's over-the-top nature and exaggerated the humour within the film.
Annabelle Budd is an upcoming actress based in London who trained at Italia Conti Theatre Arts. Her career has led her to Paris, where she has enjoyed engaging in various theatre and film projects.
In each of her performances, she dedicated herself to portraying her characters with authenticity and depth, to create a meaningful connection with audiences.
She is eager to continue exploring new roles and sharing stories that resonate with people worldwide.
We decided to cast Annabelle for the role of Emily as she was the perfect look for the character: youthful, innocent and pretty. From our first call with Annabelle, she immediately understood the character on a deeper level and took inspiration from roles she felt are similar (including Cher from Clueless) to get herself prepared for the film.
Her bubbly personality meant that she was a perfect comedic contrast against her parents' uptight attitudes.
