Trigger warning: This post touches on suicide. The youth suicide crisis in the UK is heartbreaking. Check in with the young people in your life. Ask them how they’re really feeling. Stick with them if you’re worried. And if things feel too heavy or scary, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help or call emergency services. It’s been an absolute honour to be part of this project, especially to meet so many incredibly brave and strong family members who chose to share their painful, personal experiences. Their courage in speaking out is nothing short of inspiring, and they’re doing it all in the hopes of making a real impact on the devastating phenomenon of teen suicide. The biggest thanks go to Evelyn’s family. They’re one of the many families who have opened their hearts, shared their stories, and trusted us with their pain. They’ve turned an unimaginable loss into a powerful message for change. We’re fortunate to work on so many unusual and engaging briefs, casting real people for documentary ads and brand pieces, but this project—working on such a sensitive and important topic—has been particularly fulfilling. Thanks to @aandeddb and @academyfilms for bringing us on board something that truly matters and for understanding the power of real stories being used for change. by @sixminutes_casting

@volkswagen What an utter joy to cast 🚗 Without the Volks, there is no Wagen. Introducing ‘YourWagen’, celebrating Volkswagen’s iconic heritage, and the enduring role the brand has had in the lives of its drivers and fans. Stemming from the Volkswagen brand name, literally meaning ‘people’s car’, ‘YourWagen’ champions the people that make the VW brand special, and the central role Volkswagen cars play in the lives of so many. From ‘MumsWagen’ and ‘HolidayWagen’ to ‘StagWagen’ and ‘WeddingWagen’, the film exclusively features real VW fans. It was our job and great pleasure to find them. Finding Luke, owner of the original Herbie was a particular treat, as were our gorgeous triplets. by @sixminutes_casting

6929 young people have taken their own lives in the past decade 💔 Missed Birthdays is one of the most moving, difficult and important campaigns we have worked on. It was an honour to work with @calmzone again, and so many extraordinarily strong bereaved families on this project, bringing awareness about the escalating and unacceptable levels of suicide amongst young people in the UK. by @sixminutes_casting

WE WERE HERE is an original documentary series exploring creativity & courage of @refugees from around the world. The Permaculturist | Bermeriki @bemerikibisimwa Bemeriki, originally from the Democratic Republic, is currently a resident of Rwamwanja refugee settlement in Urganda. We discovered him through his insatiable desire to share his passion for permaculture and mushrooms. A grower of many things: food, medicine, hope and empowerment, this man has so much heart and soul. His meeting with vegan chef and grower @gazoakly is pure inspiration. We loved casting this in support of #WorldRefugeeDay with @Uncommon_LDN @youtube, @we.are.lief and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency.

WE WERE HERE is an original documentary series exploring creativity & courage of @refugees from around the world. The Toymaker | Mohammad Waheed Hussein Asaf Mohammad fled his beautiful country home in Homs, Syria for the desert refuge of Azaraq camp in Jordan, a man-made wasteland where it is forbidden to plant a single seed. Originally an engineer, now aged 70 and retired, Mohammad has become the much beloved toy maker of the camp, creating toys for the camp children out of recycling and rubbish. Every child deserves a childhood and every child has an imagination. When Mohammed meets Swedish inventor Simone Giertz, a surprisingly tender and honest relationship is formed. We loved casting this in support of #WorldRefugeeDay with @Uncommon_LDN @youtube, @we.are.lief and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency.

The brief for "The Last Photo" was the most painful we've ever had, as everyone featured had tragically died by suicide. We were speaking to bereaved friends and family. Needless to say, we met extraordinary and resilient humans all wanting to raise awareness around suicide and celebrate their loved one. @calmzone are a fantastic charity with whom we've worked before. They "take a stand against suicide. That means “standing up against feeling shit, standing up to stereotypes and standing together to show life is always worth living. 125 lives are lost to suicide every week and CALM exists to change this”.
