23 year old Jessica (represented by Curtis Brown), one of Screenterrier's original teenage rising stars, was most recently seen in BBC Two's one-hour drama Murder, as well as award-winning feature The Lobster.
The new 90-minute film is a powerful, prescient story of a tough teenager, 14 year old Ellen, trying to take control of her chaotic life, but forced to grow up too quickly.
Newcomer Yasmin Monet Prince stars as Kayla, who is befriended by Ellen and becomes a form of escape. The pair form a deep friendship with the kind of unshakable intensity forged by teenage girls. But just as she’s discovered a sense of fun and freedom with Kayla.

We had mixed feelings about the fourth season of BBC Three's "Being Human" since it was such a departure from prior seasons, but we're still anxious to see what Tom, Hal, and Alex will be facing in Series 5. The first word of a new villain has come; read on for details!
Per the "Being Human" blog, the inside scoop from the show's writers paints a pretty evil picture:
"Captain Hatch has seen it all, at least he reckons he has, and whatever it is, he doesn't much like it. Stuck in a failing body, in a wheelchair, in a dismal seaside hotel, things aren't exactly sunny side up. Hatch embodies the worst in humanity - he's bitter, manipulative, obsequious, and cruel. And beneath his decrepit exterior there lies within him a dark and toxic secret that could rattle your soul with fear."
And who might be playing Captain Hatch? None...
