I have worked with Chelsea Boreham in a few productions now and I was shocked to find out she was only 14. She displays so much talent and professionalism on every shoot that far exceeds her years.
She is a wonderful young woman who will go far.
I wish her every success in this most promising actress of the month.
She has my vote and hopefully yours as well.
Hi,
My name is Ralph ‘Nogues’ Noga
Writer, Producer and Director of ECTO.
An independent action feature film that commences production in Brisbane QLD on the 7.7.14.
One of the most important characters in ECTO is Brooke Lane a 15 year old heiress to the Lane Mining fortune.
Brooke’s character was developed in ECTO to provide a broad range of issues young Aussie teenagers face regardless of their socioeconomic status.
Originally I wanted to cast an 18 year old to play the 15 year old character.
However a young 14 year old girl approached me to be involved in some capacity in my film through Facebook.
After brushing her off initially; her persistence and professionalism surprised me.
I met Chelsea’s mother Sue first a couple of weeks ago to find out more information about Chelsea before I proceeded to meet both Sue and Chelsea last Sunday.
I officially offered the role of Brooke Lane to Chelsea last week.
It came down to this.
Chelsea is not a fantastic actress at the moment.
However her work ethic, enthusiasm for the medium of film and core values are why I think in the next 10 years she will be an actress in demand.
I offered her the role of Brooke Lane at the age of 14.
The start of feature film work but I think her performance will blow people away.
I hope she does well in the Most Promising Actresses Of The Month – March 2014 Edition.
However I won’t be sharing the link to help support her because in my mind she is one of the Most Promising Actresses of 2014
Thank you
