Hailsham schoolgirl stars in short film

Isabella Dunford plays ‘Lily’, the main character, in the film by Crane and Co Estate Agents.

The film, which has been released online, will soon be playing at Hailsham Pavilion.

According to the estate agents, Isabella originally auditioned for the part of Goldilocks in its previous film ‘A New Home’, and stood out as being perfect for this role.

Isabella said, “Me and mum went to meet Kai at Starbucks to read the new script, I even got a smoothie. I was really excited to know that I would be playing the main part in the film.”

“It was quite hard remembering all the lines and I practiced a lot. My favourite part was seeing different people's houses and the pond full of tadpoles at one house we filmed in.

“I really enjoyed spending time with Nick and Lorraine, who played Mr and Mrs Brooks. I definitely want to do it again and become a famous actress. I would love to play Alice in Alice in Wonderland.”

Isabella's mum Siobhan also featured in the film.
