Sadly, children under the age of 18 cannot be taken on location.
On their official application form, they explain: “A member of the casting team will follow up on potentially suitable applications with initially a phone call to discuss the application. The next stage is to do a screen test for us.
“This is standard procedure to enable us to short list contributors and your application cannot proceed without attending a screen test, which usually takes place in our offices in Chorleywood.”
