Casting

Bradley was casting coordinator and arranged a time when we could audition people at his house. We auditioned four girls, to take on the roles of Cousin Kate and the Cottage Maiden. We also auditioned three different girls to take on the roles of the younger versions of the two character, Cousin Kate and the Cottage Maiden. It was important that everybody came at the same time, so we could establish who looked like each other, to make our piece more believable. All applicant were good, but we went with the more experienced people as we thought it would enhance our film quality. The cast list were emailed to all applicants:

"Cast List

Cousin Kate - Katie Burton

Cottage Maiden - Hannah Mierhead

Little Cousin Kate - Milly Shimbals

Little Cottage Maiden - Lauren Shimbals

sorry to all applicants who did not get roles but we will keep in touch if TakeBack productions do any more films. Thank you to all and well done to you succesfuls.
Thank you
Nicole Shaw and Bradley Judge

When the applicants came to the audition, we measured them, so we could find appropriate costumes for the successful candidates.
