Planning - Our characters, cast and location (hopefully)

This week we have been trying to co-ordinate the three most important parts to our film opening, the characters, who will play them and where our key scenes will be filmed.

Four our four key characters, Lucy, Jay, Bridget and Jonathan, we have chosen actors that we feel would reflect the characters and play the parts to their full potential.

The beautiful Jessica Codd

 For the character of Lucy, we have chosen Jessica Codd,
 as she has experience in drama and performing.  She also has that 'angelic' look that we were searching for.

Greg Reynolds, Looking dapper (as always)

For Jay, Lucy's boyfriend, we have chosen Greg Reynolds.  He has the perfect look for the character of Jay, and his confidence will shine through when on camera (he also has the perfect kitchen for one of our main scenes).

My lovely mother Tracy.

The character of Bridget, Lucy's mother will be played by Tracy Eglon (my gorgeous mother).  As a teenager, she partook in lots of drama pieces, and is excellent at taking direction.

Matt, taking it easy in Thailand.

Matt Goodman will be playing  the role of Jonathan, Lucy's father. Matt is a confident, and has the right look to play Jonathan, and we have every faith that he will have no trouble playing a 'problematic father-in-law, with his daughter's best interests at heart' - I hear he has experience..

Tealby, the setting of one of our main scenes

For the location of Lucy and Jay's scene, we have chosen the village of Tealby, as it is a picturesque, and idyllic village, which we always imagined would be our setting - It also challenges the general stereotype of romantic comedies as mostly these are filmed in famous cities.








For the scene with Bridget and Jay, we have chosen Greg's kitchen, as it is a great size and has the right style.
