Casting Process

When deciding who to put into my film, I knew I would be using my friends. This meant i had to be very careful as I needed to make sure i could trust them to take it seriously and also to do a relatively good job.

As Martin Thatcher, the protaganist in my film,  I cast Andy Mcqueen. This was because I knew I could trust him to put the effort in and to not let me down on the day. He was always the first person on set to film whenever I needed him. He was more than happy to reshoot anything that needed reshooting and he was always trying to help me with my ideas and what could be done in a scene.

Jordan Davis, or Jim Bell.

As Jim Bell and John Stead I cast Jordan Davis and Joshua Thomas respectively. I chose these two because when i presented the idea to my friends they were the most interested to be involved. From day one they were there on time wanting to crack on with filming even when i hadn't even properly prepared.

I knew the three of them could pull off the Cockney gangster look and so that was the style I went for in my film.
