Joanna Hogg already cast Tom Burke and Tilda Swinton, but couldn't find the right girl to portray Julie until just weeks before filming was supposed to start. When she met with Tilda Swinton to discuss her part, her daughter Honor Swinton Byrne happened to be there by coincidence and Hogg suddenly started to see Julie in her. Swinton and Hogg had been friends since they were ten, so Hogg already knew Honor, but Hogg never thought about giving the role to Honor because she had never acted before.
