Tessa Coleman
Writer, Executive Producer
I’ve been writing and acting for more years than I care to remember! Written for tv, theatre Radio and stage, appeared in many theatre productions. Look who’s coming to stay, written first as “Fog” with Andrea Earl, is perhaps the culmination of all those years but its still a huge learning curve!

Originally from Russia, Natalia came to Liverpool to study creative arts and filmmaking. After a few successful short films ‘Look who is coming to stay’ is her first feature film in a role of a co-director. She likes adventure and arts and used to skydive from a perfectly good airplane. Yes, she speaks with the the Russian accent. No, she is not a relative to Mr Putin.

Richard Pedley
“Hedley”
Richard Pedley is a local amateur actor who has been recruited by a bewildering number of directors over the years, and yet somehow still gets booked, almost certainly due to a dearth of talent on the Island. This is his second full length feature, the first having just about faded from public memory. He is currently developing a one-man show about a shipwrecked magician which he will direct himself, and is believed to have the largest private collection of playing cards in the Island.

Philippa Lounis
Costume Designer
I’m Philippa Lounis, born in the island of Jersey; and from a young age I loved films and costume. I went on to study fashion and textiles at UWE Bristol, where I focused on expressing yourself and your values through fashion. 3 years ago I started helping with costumes for theatre and I haven’t looked back. I love the historical accuracy and emotive power that comes through costume design.

It’s fascinating to be involved back stage sourcing vehicles and locations. Seeing the birth, growth and deliverance of the original play “Fog” and its transformation into a film is an exclusive experience. I am grateful for the opportunity.
