We have already cast the Grandpa so we are looking for Grandkids that are the right match – Please do take your time when reading over the character briefs. We are happy to see real siblings, but this is not a necessity.
My final note is that we are filming in the NORTHWEST, so ideally we would prefer to cast children from the surrounding areas.

Production dates: W/C 24th Jan and 21st March for read throughs of scripts.
Shoot is pencilled currently for 11th May – 1st June with weekends off.

(Male, 5–8 years)
Must be North West based with a playing age of 5-8.
The most curious of the Grandkids. He’s inquiring and asks more questions than the others. He’s also a chatterbox and sometimes whispers whilst Grandpa is telling the story!

(Female, 5–8 years)
Must be North West based with a playing age of 5-8.
Enthusiastic. An interrupter. Tries to predict what happens next in the story, often getting carried away and excited without being precocious. A warm character, she will often add details to the story and characters (and what they’re wearing) as they go along.
