Meet the Cast

Madi

Tilly

Madi has loved being in front of a camera from before she was one, but being allowed to draw on the walls in Suitcase has been a highlight. She has been in several short films, enjoys photo shoots and runways, and is represented by Giant Jnr and RPR Talent Management. Madi is in the Australian Girls’ Choir which she loves, and has just started learning how to play the keyboard. When she isn’t acting, you’ll find her drawing unicorns or playing with her brother, and she’ll usually be singing songs she makes up on the spot. She adores reading and is currently Harry Potter obsessed. @madihmoments
