Welsh twins have landed BAFTA nominations as part of the cast of a recent indie film hit. Mari and Lowri Izzard, who are 29 years old, recently starred in the 2022 comedy drama Brian and Charles, and despite being a small independent film, it has made quite the impression.
Nominated in the “Outstanding British Film” category at the prestigious BAFTA's Awards this weekend, it will be in the running alongside the likes of Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical and Living. The plot is centred around the themes of happiness, loneliness and good fun as the life of an inventor who lives a solitary existence in north Wales is turned upside down.He decides to build a robot for some companionship, and showcases both twins - Lowri as Katrina and Mari as Suki - who are the daughters of the antagonist. The pair are now also in development with Sky regarding a story based on their own lives in Bridgend growing up in a working class environment with hidden disabilities.
