ill manors feature film


2 years a go we started searching for new talent for this film going into schools in Newham and holding workshop castings for the young characters, small roles and non actors. Dan Hubbard did an amazing job casting the established and brilliant actors including Natalie Press, Jo Hartley and the fantastic Riz Ahmed.
Working on ill manors was like working with family. Everyone worked hard, had fun and 100 per cent believed in Ben Drew and the film because he belived in all of us. Thanks for the experience Ben. x

A few photos from the premiere at The Empire- Leicester Square and then the after party at the W Hotel.

Stella Artois- World Trade Fair

Great new retro TVC by Nick Gordon.
I did some street casting for this in Kiev- Ukraine! Interesting place to find people. I had a lovely translator and assistant called Alyona.
