Amazing to hear how Zoom has enabled easier access to actors for auditions. #Pocim2021

Hannah Thomas: The audition process took longer due to covid, they were trying to figure out who fit best, the character wasn’t fully written but they did have key scenes, they knew the character was neurodiverse but that was about it for the character. #Pocim2021

Having inclusive and diversity shown in the clips in the round table is amazing, it’s fantastic seeing neurodiverse actors represented properly on TV and the actors able to give input for the characters to make them more authentic. #Pocim2021

Grateful for the actors sharing their experiences on their processes of developing their characters and the representation of their disabilities on screen. #Pocim2021

It’s interesting to hear how productions are accommodating actors with disabilities. #Pocim2021

Fascinating talks from Lindsay Foster on the casting process of Casualty and being cast for a role in lockdown. #Pocim2021

Very exciting having Hijinx’s wonderful actors for our round table today! #Pocim2021

Deniz: The main characters story also faces a woman who is searching for her husband while struggling with prejudice and taking care of her son with autism. #Pocim2021

Deniz: The show also shines light on men taking advantage of under aged girls. Tackling hard but important themes throughout. #Pocim2021

Deniz: The series speaks about prejudice against women with headscarf’s, with cultural discrimination as a central theme in the show. #Pocim2021

Deniz: Speaking about the series Ethos, it’s about a woman who longs to get married. Due to her fainting spells, she is better after visiting a psychologist. This emphasise the discrimination woman to woman. #Pocim2021

Deniz: It is emphasised that women struggle to exist economically and physically in this life as it is male dominated. #Pocim2021

Now speaking: Kemal Deniz - Bir Baskadir Ethos

A brilliant discussion on Asian American soap opera actors and their followings going on during the Q&A. #Pocim2021

Thank you so much for these fascinating panels, great enlightenment and discourses on Place, Politics and Casting in our last panel of the weekend, panel J. 👏👏

Seid: Goes on to give examples about other Asian American typecasting on U.S. soap operas which gives a new stage of multicultural racial ideology. #Pocim2021
