Children with a Stoke-on-Trent accent are wanted to star in a short film which is being produced by Game of Thrones actor Maisie Williams - who played Arya Stark in the fantasy epic.

HMW.Casting is appealing for youngsters aged between five and 17 to apply for a range of roles in the film which is being directed by BAFTA Cymru winner Lowri Roberts.

A spokesman for the casting company said: "We're looking for local young people to play a range of roles in a short film produced by Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones.

"Ages range from five to 17. No experience is needed and we really want people who embody the characters, but a Stoke accent (or similar) is a must!"

Casting for the parts is to take place in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday, February 8 and filming - for which those who are successful in getting a part will get paid - will take place in April near Bristol.

To apply send a picture, along with age, name, location and little information about the child, including their hobbies and personality to casting@hannahmariewilliams.com
