'In Control' - Cast Update

I have made some changes to the cast of my short film and consequently some of the characters due to availability issues and attempts to make my film more successful.

Jess

I have cast Yasmin Jones as Jess. Yasmin has a very similar appearance to the way I imagined Jess, and she is able to stay in character and really express emotions and thoughts incredibly well. Yasmin is a really good match for Jess' character and is very enthusiastic about the role and the film itself!


Dad

Following auditions for a replacement for Doctor Ford's character, I decided to change the role of Jess' Mum to her Dad instead. Mark Argent will be cast as this character. Mark originally auditioned for the role of Dr Ford, but was much more suited to the role of a fatherly figure. I did not want to lose Mark as an actor so I decided to adjust the roles so that he could still be involved in the project.



Doctor Ford

With the replacement of a Dad instead of Jess' mum, I decided to recast Caroline as Doctor Ford. Caroline was able to stay serious and sympathetic during the original filming, and created a great deal of empathy within the audience. I really wanted her to have a role in the project as she too was very dedicated to the film itself.
