Budding actors are being sought for a new film.

Impact Films is a Yorkshire video and film production company and, while corporate filming is a main business, it is making its first entertainment short film.

Executive producer Simon Gamble says the plan is to enter the film, Essential Travel, into film festivals across the UK.

The film is described as a “kitchen sink drama” style piece set in the North and examines the impact of cancer on the lives of a young woman and her family, with a focus also on characters in New Zealand.

“We are currently looking to cast for a couple of main antagonists and other key characters, one of the main ones being the lead character,” says Mr Gamble.

He said it was a chance for young actors to make their break in a new production and to spotlight talent in the North of England.
