Lucy Pardee cast Charlotte Well’s AFTERSUN, finding newcomer Frankie Corio who has since won the London Critics Circle award for Best Young Performer for her role in the film, and also casting Paul Mescal who has been nominated for an Oscar for his performance.  Lucy also won a BAFTA, a BIFA and a Critics’ Circle award for casting eight-times BAFTA-nominated feature ROCKS, for which she notably populated the lead cast with young people who had never acted before, and who the story is shaped around. The lead Bukky Bakray won the rising star BAFTA.

Lucy has also frequently collaborated with Andrea Arnold, on FISH TANK, WUTHERING HEIGHTS, and in casting Arnold’s 2016 BAFTA-nominated AMERICAN HONEY.

Lucy specialises in street casting and long term script research, and has worked with some of the most critically acclaimed filmmakers in the country. Lucy is perhaps best “renowned for her ability to find non-professional performers from beyond the established film industry and the agencies and drama schools that conveyor-belt the pedigree talent” (The Guardian).
