Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts: Character Introduction #4...


Dolly the pug plays the real-life version of Dziga II in Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts (watch the trailer HERE). Dziga II is the cute, fuzzy, and ever-so-opinionated pug that plays the role of Elnora's spirit animal and her first serious emotional connection in life. Elnora 'gets' Dziga, and Dziga 'gets' Elnora.

He is her loyal and loving muse, her ever-so-special little guy ... and he's a puppet that talks with a Scottish accent. To her at least, because to everyone else Dziga just looks like any other pug dog, but to Elnora he's a life coach as well as an expression of her jumbled thoughts and unspoken desires.

Dziga was brought to life brilliantly by Dolly the Pug. Although Dolly is sadly no longer with us, her cheeky spirit lives on — the very best girl to embody the delightfully dirty-minded Dizga II.

Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts: Character Introduction #3...


Mark Keegan performs the role of Ed Gein, aka The Butcher of Plainfield, in Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts (watch the trailer HERE). In the film, Gein plays the role of Elnora's first discovery in the dark world of serial killer history during her time as a lonely teenager, and this ghoulish figure of true crime mythology became her first obsession.

Akin to an imaginary friend, brought to life within the fantasy world inside her mind, Ed is a mixture of confidant and celebrity icon. He is an expression of the deepest and darkest thoughts, fears, and desires that lurk in the shadows of Elnora's mind. Like the bad influence of an addiction, which seized hold of Elnora's tumultuous psyche in her formative years, Ed is the finger pressing down on the bad side of the scale.

Mark Keegan has  been an actor since the age of 10, but left it until 53 to turn professional! TV credits include The Windsors (Ch4/ Netflix); theatre credits include a 2-year run as Virgil in 'Past Tents' (which won the Best Comedy 2024 award by London Pub Theatres Guild) and as Diamond Dave/ Uncle Kev in Instanbul, which had a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe; as well as appearing in numerous films across the past 10 years.

Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts: Character Introduction #2...


Parker Flynn, performed by Rohan Singh, is the co-star of Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts (watch the trailer HERE), and he is an enigmatic, fiercely ambitious taxidermist, celebrated in certain circles as the “New Taxidermist to the Stars.” Brilliant but restless, he works in a fringe medium that many find unsettling, and he is driven as much by a need to prove his worth as by the lure of recognition.

In Elnora, he finds a kindred spirit—someone equally unafraid of the unusual, whose curiosity validates his art and his ambitions. As he navigates the seductive worlds of social media fame and adoring attention, Parker wrestles with a tension between vulnerability and persona, craving admiration while quietly fearing exposure. With Elnora, the promise of connection and acclaim is intoxicating—but it may demand more than he is ready to give.

With a magnetic and precise screen presence, Rohan Singh stars as Parker Flynn. Rohan is a RADA and BRIT School–trained actor, and brings effortless allure and intelligence to the role, revealing the profound in the everyday, marking him as a distinctive new talent.

Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts: Character Introduction #1...

Elnora Green, performed by Lauren Koster, is the main character in Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts (watch the trailer HERE), and she is a misfit’s misfit, suspended between childlike wonder and sharp cynicism. Gentle yet feral, she watches the world with the wary curiosity of a young wolf. A romantic and visual artist, she creates post-mortem pet portraits and offers pre-mortem pet therapy—work that blurs care, ritual, and control.

Beneath her delicate exterior, Elnora is drawn to the darker edges of the human psyche, fascinated by the impulses people hide and the secrets they carry. Shaped by loss, neglect, and isolation, she navigates life from the margins, searching for connection while quietly exploring the fragile, often unsettling balance between love and power.

Lauren Koster is an English, Irish and Burmese actor and writer. Her credits include The Crown (season 6) and Camp Siegfried at The Old Vic, marking her West End debut. She also stars in Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts, citing her collaboration with a delightfully dirty-minded pug puppet as a career highlight.

Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts - first trailer released...


The trailer for the brand new short film that I wrote called "Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts", made with Ali Causon of Oakhill Productions and directed by Lucy Joan Barnes, has just landed.

Check it out HERE.

Elnora Green and Parker Flynn make their living preserving the legacies of famous pets. Publicly adored, privately imperfect, these animals mirror Elnora’s own concealed compulsions. Confiding in a dark imagined guide and Dziga, her ever-cheerful pug companion, she begins a careful seduction of Parker - one that promises love, revelation, and something far more disturbing.

The cast includes Lauren Koster as Elnora Green, Rohan Singh as Parker Flynn, and features Mark Keegan and Clark Alexander.

The film will soon embark on its journey through the festival circuit with more news to come. Enjoy!
