I shot Spike Island just before Homefront. It is based on the band The Stone Roses in the 90s in Manchester. It is about a group of boys, who are in their own band, who are desperately trying to get tickets to The Stone Roses famous gig on Spike Island. I play Lisa, one of their girl friends. I am best friend to the main character’s love interest, Lisa (played by the lovely Emilia Clarke from Game of Thrones).

I had such a brilliant time on this film, it is only a small part but was so brilliant to be involved in such a fantastic film.
