This is an exciting casting opportunity for young people in and around Stoke-on-Trent.
Rotten Park Road's independent feature film, Happy Little Bunnies, is currently in pre-production and will be going into production this June. We have a few children's roles to cast and we would like to prioritise enthusiastic children and young people from in and around Stoke-on-Trent, which is where the filming will be taking place.
No acting experience is necessary - just confidence and enthusiasm! Our informal casting workshops will be held on Sunday 28th April. Details will be confirmed upon application. This is an unpaid opportunity, but we feel it will be a wonderful experience for local young people. Please email your submission of interest to info@rottenparkroad.com with:
- Your name and the name of the young person
- The age, height, build and ethnicity of the young person
- A recent photo of the young person (professional headshots are wonderful but not expected).
Please see the following breakdowns to see if your child would be suitable:

Midget - Female. Playing age 8 to 9 years old. (Real age could be up to 12 for a small child). Small, quite meek looking. Long hair. She often gets overlooked, as her father has no time for girls and devotes his energies to his boys. Preferably Northern accent. White, Caucasian.
