00:01Oakworth! This is Oakworth!
00:05Right, maybe we can start with introductions.
00:07You can introduce who you are and which character you play. Would that be alright?
00:10Yeah, perfect.
00:11Should we start at the back over there?
00:12Well, I'm Ted. I...
00:15More Zack.
00:16I'm Zack. I play Ted and he's a lot like me. He's very similar.
00:22I think everyone can relate to him in different ways.
00:25My name's Eden and I play Patty.
00:27She wears a heart on her sleeve.
00:30She has a strong sense of right and wrong.
00:34She stands up to bullies like Georgia Duckworth
00:36and she's still trying to make sense of the world
00:40and also she brings a lot of humour.
00:42My name is KJ Akins and I play Abe.
00:44He's a very strong, determined character that goes through a lot
00:47and ends up in the right hands.
00:48I'm Bo Gadsden and I play Lily.
00:51She is the eldest of the three evacueed children
00:53and I think as well as the film carrying this message
00:57of hope and resilience and the sense that you can create a family
01:01even when you're not blood related in any situation,
01:03I think that Lily takes that with her
01:05and I think she spreads it and I think what she's been through,
01:09she's so strong and I really admire her.
01:12Well, I'm Austin Haynes and I play Thomas and he's a Yorkshire lad,
01:16keeps himself to his self and then, yeah, when the evacuees come over
01:20he becomes more independent and he likes to do a few more adventures.
01:25He gets pulled into them.
01:29He's in there.
01:32Stay back.
01:33Are you German?
01:34No, I'm on your side.
01:36I'm Abe.
01:36Let's talk about Yorkshire then because, KJ, you're from New York, right?
01:41Obviously some of you know Yorkshire countryside better than others
01:44but, I mean, this must be a very different thing for you.
01:47So what were your feelings about working in the Yorkshire countryside?
01:51Oh, definitely. It's amazing. It's so beautiful.
01:55It's definitely a change of scenery.
01:56I was very happy to be here, coming here and seeing all the greenery
01:59and we were staying, like waking up and seeing sheep and little lambs
02:02and ducks by the pond.
02:04I was like, whoa, this is amazing. Yeah.
02:06And it looked pretty muddy as well.
02:07Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.
02:09The weather is very indecisive here.
02:11I woke up and I never knew whether it was going to be hot, cold, rainy, hail.
02:16I mean, but, I mean, even on set, like the weather was not cooperative at all
02:20but the people in production did a great job with their movie magic
02:23to make it look so sunny and bright and amazing.
02:27So, Eden, this is your first film.
02:28Yes.
02:29So how did you get the role?
02:32Well, I got asked to do an audition, like a self-tape.
02:36Then I just got asked to do a couple of videos by myself
02:40and then I started to meet the possible cast
02:43and I went through a number of different people
02:47and then they told me I got the part.
02:50And, Zach, how much acting have you done before?
02:53I've done an advert for Puckepies.
02:58And your pantos?
02:59Oh, yeah, I've done my pantos.
03:01Is it something you want to do more of?
03:03Is it something you see yourself doing more of in the future?
03:05I see it happening more and more.
03:09And I would really want to do, like, an origin story of Ben Stokes or Joe Root.
03:18I'm a preceptor myself.
03:20That would be amazing.
03:21Bo, of course, you've done loads of things.
03:24How do you fit schooling into that then?
03:26How does that work for people who don't know?
03:28Well, we do tutor Zoom calls on set.
03:32So we had two weeks at the beginning of the production.
03:35During rehearsals we do a lot more tutoring than we did when we were filming.
03:39The filming days were pretty packed.
03:41It would be one scene to the next, to the next, to the next, and the next day waking up
03:46early.
03:46So it was a lot.
03:48And on my days off I definitely tried to catch up.
03:51And when I got back to school I did some extra lunch times.
03:53I caught up.
03:54Well, yeah, it was good fun and it was absolutely worth it.
03:57And, Austin, how about friends then, school friends and other friends?
04:01What do they think about your acting and your appearing in a big movie?
04:05Well, I've done it for years.
04:08I started when I was seven.
04:10And I'm 14 now so I've done it for seven years.
04:13So when I moved into high school they sort of got used to it quickly.
04:17So when I'm away for months they're just like,
04:20Ah, so you were filming again?
04:21Yeah, yeah.
04:22No, you just get on with it.
04:24What are they doing?
04:25Well, we should know.
04:26You think Phyllis wasn't forever telling me about your childhood antics?
04:32Not antics. Action.
04:35We need to go. It's now and ever.
04:38You've got to be joking.
04:40You want to get on that train, don't you?
04:42Go, go, go!
04:43If this is as fast as it goes, it's a tractor.
04:45Now.
04:46Mom!
04:53You can make a difference.
04:54There's always hope.
04:58Friends are special.
05:00They're with us, side by side.
05:06But don't even know where people want to call.
05:07You have to go.
05:09You haven't got to go.
05:09Go, go, go.
05:10You.
05:13You have to go.
05:14Go, go, go.
05:14Go, go, go.
05:15That's not the way you want to go.
05:15Go, go, go.
