Catch Me Daddy Feature Film

I spent 4 months in Yorkshire and a couple of months before in Manchester street casting for Daniel Wolfe's first feature film- Catch Me Daddy. An amazing experience street casting some great people and working with a brilliant team. Looking forward to seeing how it looks...

Street Casting- Gussy, Laura, George, Alex, Hayley, Lucy and I found ourselves in interesting places all over the North of England finding the best faces... too many stories. Every face found has a story attached!

This Morning/Boots Idents

We had to street cast everyone in these ads. This is just a montage of a few but more are coming out over the next few months.

Cadbury's first ever Christmas Ad- 'Unwrap Joy'

London Grammar 'Nightcall'

Although the cast ended up quite far in the background I really love this music video and song from London Grammar.

Young's What Smells So Good?

Lesley Beastall cast the actors in this lovely ad for Young's. Sunnie (Street Cast London) and I were asked to cast the locals and went to Clovelly and other areas in Devon and Cornwall to scout for talent. We met some wonderful people- real fishermen, musicians and locals who ended up in the commercial.

More Smyths Toys commercials for Origami Films. I did the casting for these ads. Polly is a little girl called Caitlin who the director found as she features on her dads radio show! She's pretty good!! I love the mini avengers- they were very professional and well mannered kids on set. All of the kids were a pleasure to have around.
