put herself out in front for the role of New Zealander
Tara by stating that a Kiwi accent was "something
that I've been afflicted with since birth".

James,
a very cool and clean-cut young man in real-life,
secured his role with the help of the super-creepy
voice he adopted for the character. Originally
from Wolverhampton, James is based in London and

Croydon Deaf Film Festival. |

Liverpool
lad John also makes his acting debut in TB&E.
John, a social worker, auditioned for the parts
of both Lenny & Steve but impressed the producers
so much the role of Deaf Hard was added to the
script. Talking of scripts, John's hard at work
on his own script, having been bitten by the film
bug. |
