Honor Swinton Byrne, Lily-Beau Leach, Rory Fleck-Byrne Star in ‘Do Mosquitos Bite in Winter?’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Honor Swinton Byrne and Rory Fleck-Byrne have been tapped to lead the cast of NFTS short 'Do Mosquitos Bite in Winter?'

The family drama, which explores separation through the eyes of a nine-year-old protagonist named Ruby, also stars rising talent Lily-Beau Leach, whose performance in “Hoard” caught director Anne-Sofie Lindgaard’s attention long before casting began. It felt like an even greater stroke of luck to bring Honor and Rory on board – two incredibly talented actors I’ve long respected,” Lindgaard added. The other two shorts Lindgaard has done at NFTS are “Superbolt,” starring Imogen King, which is premiering at Manchester Film Festival next month; and “Backseat,” currently in post production, also looking to premiere later this year, starring Lewin Lloyd (“His Dark Materials”) and Victoria Ekanoye (“Sense & Sensibility,” “Coronation Street”).
