Game of Thrones and Prevenge star Gemma Whelan gives us a shout-out in an in-depth interview with Kaleem Aftab – shout-outs also to Film Raisers Alice Lowe and Kharmel Cochrane:
She is a big fan of Raising Films, formed two years ago to put pressure on the film industry to do more to support working parents. “The job I’m doing at the moment is working around the pregnancy. Casting director Kharmel Cochrane is a big fan of Raising Film and said to me, ‘You’re not ill, they’ll shoot around your pregnancy if you’re right for the part.’”
