Tristan Pretty
Producer
Acting across stage, TV and film for nearly 15 years he continues to strive for new challenges and new stories to tell. Nipping at the heels of the next stage in his career, he's auditioned for several major projects but yet to take that next step. Playing a younger Baylan Skoll is a dream role and a wonderful showcase of his range and presence.

Neil is the organisational backbone, giving structure to all the crazy-talented creatives involved in this incredible production!
