So so so proud of the cast and crew of ‘First Day’ for winning an Emmy!!
Writer and Director Julie Kalceff and Producer Kirsty Stark are a powerhouse of a team; approachable, hardworking, open and inclusive with an incredible vision - I can honestly say I don’t know anyone who deserves this more than them!
Congratulations to you both, and thank you so much for telling a story that strongly depicts real life and for giving a voice to the silent, the world needs more film makers like you
Jo Hunt congratulations lovely, your character had warmth and openness that you portrayed with such love, a wonderful message for all parents out there
Last but definitely not least, Evie - from the moment I met you on set I’ve been in awe of you, your maturity, intelligence, resilience, strength, beauty and grace, I couldn’t imagine anyone else playing Hannah the way you did. Congratulations!
To all the rest of the cast and crew - well done, celebrate, you deserve it!
