Actor testimonials

Leroy Kincaide - Nocturnal Pictures
During the process of filming my second feature I had the honour of working with Hazel, I found her extremely dedicated to getting the most from the character that she could.
There was some subtle nuances that she gave her character, that made her a pleasure to shoot.
As a director who looks for the finer details that an actor can breathe into their role, I was extremely satisfied with Hazels professional approach and execution on her work.
A solid talent indeed.

Tony James Rose Bruford Course Director, In respose to my role as 'W' in Duncan Macmillan's 'Lungs':
"A true acting talent evident by your living in the moment, anticipating nothing and allowing the text to flow through you. I thought the delivery of your monologue was the highlight of this production. Congratulations."

Through her dedicated preparatory work Hazel brought to life the character of Diana, giving her depth and dimension. I love it when actors bring more than the script to set, and Hazel nailed it!

"From start to finish she was professional. Not just bringing her clear, natural talent, but also offered the project everything she could. Such a joy to be around, she really made a difference to the film. Without her it would not have been what it was. I highly recommend Hazel she would be a massive asset to any set. A strong and confident actress that will deliver."
