BBC Wales TV pilot - Casting call

HMW Casting is working on an upcoming BBC Wales television pilot, and is currently looking to cast a young girl (playing age 8–10) who is visually impaired to play the younger version of the lead character.

The company is keen to reach young people with lived experience. No acting experience is required, and the process will be inclusive and supportive throughout. The role is young Ela, a brown-eyed caucasian who is at the beginning of her diagnosis. This is a paid opportunity, and applicants must be UK-based. Parents or guardians who are interested or want more information should email casting@hannahmariawilliams.com with the subject headed 'Young Ela'. Please include a picture of the applicant, their age and location, and some information about them.
