This is going to take a little bit of getting used to.
Thank you so much @theemmys.tv for our award for Outstanding Casting on THE PRIMROSE RAILWAY CHILDREN.
Thank you @byutv@compact.pictures@cbbc for having us along for the journey and to @gilbertandcovellcasting for their outstanding work in London.
Both of us have such strong happy memories of the original Railway Children when we were kids so when we were asked to cast this version our hearts lit up. To see that hard work and joy reflected in this award is everything.
Thank you! Team PHD - Simone & Anna x
After over a decade of sitting in the same room as each other fighting over the stapler, playing guess the reader on the self tape and reading each other’s minds (‘who is that actor I like who was in that play we saw two years ago’ - yeah I got you) , we decided our joint brains needed a joint name.
Pereira Hind & Dawson Casting 2025.
An exciting year ahead for us at PHD towers.
