Budding filmmaker Laila Khan is searching for child actors in her first venture. The Luton based director says she is writing, producing and directing a “very sensitive film” about a transgender man and is looking to cast youngsters in key roles.

“The film is about a transgender individual, a man who explains how he was feeling through a series of flashbacks. My intention is to encourage people to change their perspective. One should try to understand what makes people what they are before we judge them,” she says.

She is looking for a child actor between six to eight-years-old; seven to 11 years old to play the role of the school bully; two girls, six to eight-years-old; and a group of boys for a gang scene. Also required for parts is a mature male actor between 24-37 years and children between the ages of 7-12 as extras.
