India Fowler Portrays Maddy, Trevor’s daughter
India Fowler is a young actress who has appeared in a number of short films. She plays Maddy, Trevor’s daughter, in Man vs. Bee. Maddy is a precocious seven-year-old who loves spending time with her dad. India brings a sense of playfulness to the role, making Maddy a lovable character. I love playing Maddy because she’s like me, says India. She loves adventure and trying new things. When she was just six years old, India auditioned for the film and found out that she got the part!
Maddy is probably my favorite part about being in this movie. When we were shooting scenes together, it felt so real because we would talk to each other as if we were actually sisters. When Maddy would say something funny or do something crazy, I felt so happy inside. Sometimes when you’re on set, it can be really hard to act natural around your co-stars or when you have a scene partner that you don’t know very well. But for some reason I never had any problems with India! It was as if I had known her forever!

Jess is a smart and successful woman who has her life together. She’s Trevor’s ex-wife, but they remain on good terms for the sake of their son, Dylan. Claudie Blakley brings Jess to life with her charm and wit. You can’t help but root for her, even when she’s going up against Trevor in court. I don’t want to give too much away about this character, but I will say that you’ll see both sides of her story. There are times where she may come off as shrewish or unreasonable, but then there are moments where you feel sorry for her or understand why she feels hurt by Trevor. Claudie Blakley does an amazing job of portraying these complex emotions through Jess’ eyes. At first it seems like she just wants what’s best for her son, but then we get glimpses into how she felt during their marriage and how devastating it was when he left.
Tom Basden Portrays the Police Officer

When Sarah (Emily Beecham) returns with food, the bees swarm her car only to be thwarted by some sugar water. The officer tries to swat them away but ends up attracting more and more bees until it becomes an all-out brawl. Eventually, a new customer arrives with honey cakes, luring the bees into eating it until they all fall asleep.
