Quotes From the Article:
“Carly […] started writing her short series, Yellow Lines, during the pandemic lockdowns. After having all her scripts drafted the inevitable question of “What’s next?” came up. Many projects can die in this stage. Unsure where to go next or feeling overwhelmed by the uphill battle ahead to get your project made. However, Carly found the We Make Movies community which gave her a perfect next step.”
“Excitingly, Carly co-produced and starred in her Yellow Line’s pilot episode last spring. Since then, Yellow Lines’ pilot episode has been accepted into six film festivals (and counting). The pilot has won for Best Pilot at the Chain NYC Film Festival and been nominated for Outstanding Achievement on a Pilot and Best Acting Duo at Indie Short Fest.”

Quotes From the Article:
“Wilkins was one of the first actors Bacigalupo asked to read the early script aloud, having worked with her previously. Bacigalupo said Wilkins brought realism and greater dimension to the role of Sadie, coming to the table with strong, thoughtfully formed convictions about the character and her motivations. ‘I thought she had the voice for the character,’ he said. ‘She did her homework, too. She really connected.’”
“‘I think TV is such a cool opportunity because it gives you so much time with a character,’ she said. Wilkins added, ‘I love the character of Sadie so much. It would be an incredible experience to explore her further.’”

Quotes From the Article:
“Carly Wilkins was cast as Sadie, the love interest of Bacigalupo's Laurence and the source of character Alastair's conflicted heart. […]
‘I fell in love with the role of Sadie,’ said Wilkins, who said she related to Sadie's journey as a small town girl.
Wilkins made the move to New York to begin as an actress and recognized Sadie's struggles in her character development. Sadie falls for Laurence, who is considered the town's ‘bad boy.’
Wilkins said many of her previous acting experiences have been as a stage actress, but her work in "The Mortician" has now kicked open the door and she was since cast into roles in two other pilot episodes.”
