My name is Skylar Qu, I was assistant camera and actor for flatmate 2. My favourite film is Nuovo Cinema Paradiso(1988) and i'm big fan of Kore-eda Hirokazu. I also can't say no to rice noodle!!!
My name is Samuel and I am the cinematographer. I am in charge of the visuals, including camera (movements, angles), lenses, lighting and colours. My favourite film is Tenet and I don’t have a favourite director. My favourite food is probably ramen.
My name is Roshan and I did the sound for this film. My role on the project was planning what sound samples to record in pre-production, operating the zoom recorder on set and crucially, sound designing the end product.
My favourite food is tofu in any form - fried, scrambled, roasted you name it.
I don’t have a favourite director but I love Agnes Varda, Lynn Ramsay and Wes Anderson and my favourite film is How to Train Your Dragon (2010).
My name is Phaidon, I’m the producer for ‘Consume’. My favourite director is Wes Anderson and my favourite film is Fantastic Mr. Fox. My favourite food is souvlaki.
My name is Lizzie McCoy, and I play the part of Lily in Consume :) I love watching films, so actually taking part in one has always been something I've wanted to do; as you can imagine, being on set seeing a crew at work was very surreal. What with the long hours it took to shoot everything, watching the crew immediately start on the editing, it gave me a huge amount of respect for the filming process. Whilst auditioning, I told them that this was the first time I would ever be working on a film, and they decided to take me on - I am obviously very grateful that they gave me the chance. It's been a really worthwhile opportunity, and even though we shot it all in under a week, I think I've learnt a lot. Thank you to the Consume crew and Film Department at Lancaster University, and I can't wait to see what else these talented people have in store!
My name is Harry, I am the production groups editor. I take on the role of editing, most of my work is during post production. While there is a lot of organizing files, it was great to be a huge part of how the final film looked. One of my favourite directors is David fincher. And favourite film, Bridge to Terabithia. As food was a huge initial concept for the script my favourite food is lasagna.

My name is Eve Hyman and I’m production designer on ‘Consume’, meaning I’m in charge of visual aesthetics and the practical effects we used during filming. My favourite director is Hayao Miyazaki, my favourite film is probably Coraline (2009) and my favourite food is my mum’s macaroni and cheese :)
