Your Nocturne casting hit Deadline

Full cast announcement published today. You're listed as lead alongside Sofia Hublitz, Raff Law, and Julio Pena. 48-72 hour visibility window. Anyone you contact right now is more likely to engage because your name is fresh in the trades.

Timing: Every action below is timed to take advantage of this window. Don't wait until next week.

This Week

Causeway Films won the AACTA Byron Kennedy Award

Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton just received one of the most prestigious honours in Australian cinema.

Timing: People are most open to personal messages right after receiving recognition. Your congratulations arrive while they're still in celebration mode. Window: about a week.

New Find · Today

A24's "Major Players" has no cast announced

Molly Manning Walker (How To Have Sex, Cannes Un Certain Regard winner) is directing a 6-part series about two teenage girls starting a women's football club. Produced by A24 for Channel 4. Currently filming in the UK. Producer is Matthew Mulot (Baby Reindeer). No cast has been publicly announced yet.

Why this is interesting: A24 + Channel 4 + a Cannes-winning female director making a female-led series. Currently in production with cast TBA publicly. Your A24 connection through Causeway/Nocturne gives you a warmer path than a cold submission. Worth flagging to your agents.

Subject: Huge congrats on the Byron Kennedy Award!! 🥂 Hi Samantha and Kristina, Just saw the news about the Byron Kennedy Award and I'm SO thrilled for you both!! So incredibly deserved. The work you've built with Causeway is just extraordinary and honestly inspires me so much. I feel so lucky to be part of the Nocturne family. Can't wait to bring this story to life together!! Biggest congratulations again 🤍 Aubri x

🧠 Why this specific timing and angle

Your name just hit Deadline today for Nocturne. Jennings and Ceyton are still in their award celebration window. This email lands at the intersection of two positive events, so they associate you with both. Short, warm, no ask. The relationship IS the goal.

Subject: Hello from Aubri! Quick update 💛 Hi Kahleen! Hope you're having a lovely week. Just wanted to say hi and give you a little update since we last worked together. I've been lucky enough to branch into some really exciting new spaces. Just wrapped Lords of War with Andrew Niccol alongside Nicolas Cage and Bill Skarsgard, and I've been cast as the lead in Nocturne, the immersive Talk to Me series for Meta (just announced today actually!). I'm really craving something stripped back and character driven next. All of Us Strangers completely wrecked me in the best way. That kind of intimate, raw storytelling is exactly where my heart is. If anything crosses your desk that you think could be right for me, I'd absolutely love to be in the mix. No pressure at all, just wanted to stay on your radar! So much love and gratitude. Working with you on Buccaneers has been such a gift 🤍 Aubri xx

🧠 Why this works right now

Crawford's mental image of you is probably still "Lizzy from Buccaneers." This email updates that to "actress working with Nicolas Cage and leading an A24 horror franchise." Naming All of Us Strangers plants one specific idea: "Aubri wants to be in Andrew Haigh's world." Crawford cast that film. Next time Haigh calls her, your name is already in her head. Timing: the Deadline announcement gives the email built-in credibility.

⚡ Action 3 · Urgent

White Lotus S4: Submit Now

Casting Now

HBO · France · Helena Bonham Carter, Alexander Ludwig, AJ Michalka confirmed · Young ensemble roles still being filled

France setting means they're actively looking for international cast. Your European/Australian background gives you an edge over American actresses competing for the same slots. Buccaneers is proof of concept: young woman in European wealth/power dynamics.

📧 To your agents

Hey team! Can we make sure I'm being submitted for The White Lotus Season 4? It's set in France, they're filling out the young ensemble, and I think Buccaneers is a perfect proof of concept for exactly this kind of role. My Nocturne casting just hit Deadline today so the timing is ideal, fresh visibility in the trades. Can you confirm once you've submitted? Would love to know what you hear back! Thanks so much 🤍 Aubri
