According to a press release we received from New Century Media in the UK,  Georgia Groome plans to host the MADE-BY stand at the Pure Fashion Exhibition in Olympia, London.  The event is scheduled for Sunday, August 2.

MADE-BY works with fashion brands to improve the social and environmental aspects of their entire supply chain using a step-by-step approach. The blue button MADE-BY label is then used on clothing to communicate the brand\u2019s commitment towards continuous improvement.

Georgia Groom, UK star of Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging, will be hosting the stand with the Harry Potter star, Bonnie Wright.  MADE-BY’s marketing director Allanna McAspurn is very happy to have the young women’s presence at the non-profit organization’s stand:

In order to successfully change peoples perception of sustainable fashion, we need to engage the next generation. Bonnie and Georgia represent two of the brightest young acting talents in the UK and we are very excited about working with them.

One day the sun burned into everything and nature took back all the things we once took from it. And the world I knew was gone… Except for Eva.

In a hostile world without parents Keira and Adam meet and fall in love. But when Keira’s little sister Eva goes missing they are catapulted into a dangerous and macabre search. Keira is forced to face her worst fear: how can you give up looking for the person you love?

Tusk Tusk
Written by Polly Stenham
28 March – 2 May

“Come on troops. Let’s take check: Finnbar, slightly ruffled but still in fighting form. Maggie, could do with a full night’s sleep but otherwise all in order… Stay here. Don’t answer the door.”

Once upon a time in what feels like another country, three children play hide and seek. Fifteen year old Elliott wears a crown, thirteen year old Maggie wraps herself in silk and little Finn draws on the walls. Together they watch a mobile phone intensely, willing it to come to life. Whose call are they waiting for and why are they home alone?

As hilarious as it is heartbreaking, Tusk Tusk, Polly Stenham’s second play, is a tale of family ties as an uncertain future circles.

Isn’t it time Doctor Who became a female.

Georgia Groome is young, but would make a real change for the show, but she has the ability to pull it off.

Let’s get the campaign started!

Matthew Ryan’s (Harry Treadaway) life is devastated after the disappearance of his younger brother, Tom. Matthew’s father had left him to look after Tom and now Matthew feels responsible. His father is trying to hold back the anger and the blame but the cracks are beginning to show.

One day Matthew is looking through a box of press clippings and video tapes about Tom’s disappearance. Suddenly he hears a ghostly voice on one of the video tapes telling him “you never came for me!”. It’s the voice of his missing brother. He shows the tape to his father, Jake (Greg Wise). This time there’s no voice and Jake flies into a rage as the wound is reopened. Matthew tells his best friend Simon (Tom Felton) about the voices on the tape. Is he losing his mind, is Tom alive or dead?

At home, Matthew plays the tape and hears Tom’s voice again, desperately pleading for help. Then Matthew sees Tom at the window, gaunt and haggard. He rushes out to Tom but no one is there. Matthew strikes up a friendship with next-door neighbour Amy, who is beautiful but troubled. He talks to her about Tom and she suggests he visits a local medium. Matthew is unsure but he is again haunted by nightmarish visions of Tom. When he tries to sleep he has recurring nightmares that he is being buried alive. In desperation he goes to visit Melissa, the medium, who tells him that the area has been cursed through the ages. Her daughter gives Matthew a present, the drawing of a young girl.

The following day Matthew is shocked when he finds out that Simon’s sister, Sophie (Georgia Groome), has been abducted. Matthew realises that the drawing by the mediums daughter is of Sophie. The haunting escalate, Matthew’s state of mind deteriorates. Only Amy seems to believe him, as a tentative romance grows between them. Matthew knows that he needs to get to the bottom of Tom’s disappearance if he is ever going to save Sophie.

There is no going back as he hurtles towards the stark, chilling truth;

The Disappeared;you can’t bury the past

Baz Bamigboye in the Daily Mial

Gurinder Chadha lined up the young cast of her new movie Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging and sprinkled some Keira Knightley dust over them.

‘I know we’re going to have the Keira effect after the film opens,’ Gurinder said at the film’s recent cast and crew screening.

She was referring to her picture Bend It Like Beckham – the movie that marked Keira as a future star.

Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging will certainly launch 16-year-old Georgia Groome, from Nottingham, as a star in the making.

She plays Georgia – the schoolgirl who goes ‘boy-stalking’ with her mates and dreams of winning the heart of the local ’sex god’.

Gurinder’s film, which she wrote with husband Paul Mayeda Berges, takes on Hollywood’s teenage girl genre movies, like Mean Girls and Clueless, and gives them a perfect English pitch.

It’s well-paced, funny and genuinely touching. I liked Georgia telling her dad ‘This isn’t the Middle Ages – or the Seventies, as you call it,’ or when she describes her dimwitted friend Jas as being ‘half-girl, half-turnip’.

And Georgia brings tremendous honesty and humour to the screen in her role as a 14-year-old from Eastbourne who has never been kissed.

Every schoolgirl, past and present, will, I guess, recognise the DNA of this dilemma as Georgia works through a snogging scale before she stands any chance of landing Robbie, the ‘hottie’ in question (played winningly by Aaron Johnson).

So as not to frighten parents, Paramount Films has gently tweaked the title of Louise Rennison’s brilliant novel from Angus, Thongs And Full-Frontal Snogging to the safer … And Perfect Snogging.

In any case, this isn’t Blackboard Jungle: there are no knives, no one does a Juno and no one smokes skunk.

But the movie’s still hot stuff and the rest of Georgia’s cast mates, who include Eleanor Tomlinson, Sean Bourke and Kimberly Nixon, are all people the camera likes.

The teens have to endure some agonising moments on the path to blissfulness.

‘I think we have it worse because boys care less,’ Georgia insisted when we got on to the topic of school-yard dating.

She’s probably right, although one poor lad in the film, known as Dave The Laugh, does get treated rather badly by Georgia.

Still, the 16-year-old is admirably down-to-earth in her attitude to impending stardom.

Georgia, who was a mean rugby and football player before she turned to acting, told me that she never went into showbusiness for the fame and money.

She was cast in Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging after making the acclaimed independent film thriller London To Brighton – all the earning from which went into a trust fund.

‘I’ve not touched any of the money. It’s in a bank and it’s there till I’m 21. That’s what I’ve decided.

‘I don’t need a car, because I’m not old enough to drive. I’ve got a phone, my iPod and a laptop. I’m lucky that I’ve got parents who make sure I have what I need,’ Georgia told me. ‘I’d rather save it till I do need it.’

Georgia, who took 12 GCSEs and next term will study three AS-level subjects, is wary of all the hype and nonsense surrounding showbusiness and said she has been shocked at how the likes of Keira Knightley are treated just because of their weight and looks.

‘I’m quite happy with who I am,’ Georgia told me. ‘I think it must be very difficult for her [Keira] because she’s naturally skinny and it’s, like, just let her be! If she wasn’t eating properly she couldn’t keep going at the rate she does.

‘You are what you are, and I’d rather be myself than try and be what I’m not.’

Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging has its world premiere in London on July 16 (Georgia already has her gown!) and it goes on release on July 25.
