Chantel Nash: Self-Tapes at Three Months, Midwich Cuckoos, and Two Weeks After Birth

At 50:42 · chapter starts 48:20

Chantel Nash describes the mechanics of baby modeling self-tapes: you hold the baby on your lap, state their name, age, and measurements, and film whatever the brief requires — often something like messy eating for a food advert. Richie is fully invested in the process: Chantel calls him 'the mummager', the Kris Jenner of the family, though he is also a working electrician. His faith in the children produces results: Etta, at under two years old, successfully auditioned via self-tape and was cast in Sky TV's Midwich Cuckoos. Richie fed her the lines during the tape, providing feedback between takes with the earnestness of a West End director. She got the job. The filming date was two weeks after Chantel gave birth to her son Otis, meaning Richie had to take Etta to set alone for the duration. Etta now has a TV credit before her own mother.
