From the second round dozen, after so many showreels and self-tapes, in order to cast our ensemble, we’ve now decided the final few picks – it’s been really tough, and again a big thank you to everyone who auditioned/taped for us. Below are the lucky 7, of the few remaining parts yet to be cast, who are now recording a final round of tapes from the final draft for us.
-
- OLIVER BYNG
- SALLY PAFFETT
- NATALIA FOX
- DEREK PALMER
- SIMONE SOMERS-YEATES
- SEAN RHYS-JAMES
- ELEANOR GRIFFITHS
What’s next? For casting, once we’ve seen all the final round tapes, we’ll be notifying the rest of the cast yet to be confirmed who have been selected (full cast list announced end of this month). We have one-to-one meetings with cast and crew, will be completing the first draft of the schedule (which has been a nightmare – smart move making a film set over 30 years with multiple characters Mike), and also continue to search for locations ahead of our June/July shoot next year.
For those unfamiliar with the synopsis to our latest feature ‘STILL LIFE’, please see below:
Chuck is cursed to live out his days like a piece of furniture on one spot, unageing, watching the episodic highs and lows of countless houseguests’ lives pass before him. Presented in two linear narratives, jumping back and forth between the day Chuck became frozen in time and the following decades, his best friend Les his sole caregiver, constantly questioning will he be released? And will their home survive when it comes under threat of demolition?
An absurd, poignant, picaresque comedy.
