It stars several children from Devon and Cornwall who won parts after auditions that were held at the Holiday Inn in Plymouth.

Nine-year-old Jasper Martin, who lives at Tideford, and goes to Sir Robert Geffery's School in Landrake, did two days of filming for the movie, as did locals Sam Hockday and Kit Johnson.

Ramsay had previously won acclaim for her astonishing movie adaption of Lionel Shriver's novel We Need To Talk About Kevin.
