Simon is Tom’s father in the film. Simon is a character which was only there to be a “narrative harbinger”. Although Simon does have a full personality which is a back-story and subtext to the plot and narrative. Simon was imagined to be a man who does a lot to collaterally impact his son although unconditionally loves him. Simon is played by Russell Byrne, a great friend who was fantastic on set.
Sophie is Blake’s piano teacher in the film and also the woman Andrew has the affair with. Sophie was quite a sophisticated character to play, she had to be completely guilty although still hold herself and teach Blake professionally. This was quite a task, because of this we then resorted back to CastingCallPro. We came across a Show Reel of an actress named Katherine Reilly, who was the perfect look for the role and a capable actress.
Jane is Tom’s mother in the film. Along with Simon she is a “narrative harbinger”, although she we had a clear idea of what we intended her to be. We wanted her to to be blonde along with Sophie and we wanted her to be loving yet harsh which she is. Jane is played by Annie Miles who encapsulates all of the traits that we wanted Jane to be. Annie is another great friend of ours who was extremely adaptable towards changing her character if we wanted her to.
