These are our excellent actors! We are very happy with our choices as they were all very professional and did what we asked of them. We chose them due to availability and we knew that they would be happy to be filmed doing what we wanted them to, plus the fact that they are all related to Ellie.
Character: Faith Lewis
Reason for casting: We chose Libby because she is the correct age for the part and was more than happy to go to the fair for the day. She has no acting experience but this was a good thing as we needed her to act naturally for the 'home movie'. As well as this, we were able to take her out for the day and not have a specific time frame.
Name: Casey Gardener
Character: Cassie Lewis
Reason for casting: We chose Casey because she was also the correct age for the part and as she is actually Libby's sister it meant that it was more believable that they were sisters. She also has no acting experience which was perfect and was also very happy to go to the fair. Their availability was very coincidental as the exact time we needed to film was when they were in the country.
Name: Claire Jackson
Character: Older Cassie Lewis
Reason for casting: We chose Claire because she was happy to do it and we needed someone with brown hair who was her age to play the part of Cassie when she is older. She has some acting experience as she was an extra in an episode of the bill once several years ago. She was very reliable and was fine with staying to film for as long as we needed.
