References for Yvonne Wan: “I worked with Yvonne on my first feature film 'Miracle Grow'. Yvonne was cast for the role of Samantha, and I was most impressed with what she brought to the role- Samantha was one of the characters which I hadn't quite figured out yet completely when casting, but my problems were immediately solved when Yvonne stepped on board. Yvonne and I together constructed the villain of Miracle Grow, and I could not have done it without her enthusiasm and will to learn more about the character. Her interest urged me to work harder in constructing her character. Yvonne is also one of the few actors I've worked with that asked me what research she should do to prep for the role. Of course, with Miracle Grow being about mephedrone, there was a lot to learn. Yvonne did her research and this added so much to her performance on the film. Another great thing about Yvonne, for a director, is the fact that she isn't afraid to ask for direction. Yvonne wants to do her best, whatever the role in question. She is beautiful, cinematic, and an overall delight to work with.”

Emma Kinni Director of ‘Miracle Grow’ feature film

“Yvonne takes direction very well and she gets along with everyone with ease whilst being incredibly professional. Yvonne is very focused, patient and quick to take information on board and interpret. She was fantastic in our music video and I can see her going very far! Fantastic young lady! Highly recommended working with her”

‘Yvonne is a great person to work with. I met her the first time during auditions of the Film the Pessimist, I found her very pleasant and easy to talk to. She reacted very well to my directing notes and was smart applying them. On set, I found Yvonne to be very professional. She was early to arrive, she communicated very well with the other actors and the crew and was also very helpful and understanding.  Overall, she would be a great asset to any production’

Zakaria Zahrani  Director of The Pessimist

‘Yvonne is a dedicated and talented actress. Everything that was asked of her was delivered, and more! In the piece we worked together on there was no speaking so it needed a skilled physical actor to convey the feelings and emotions of the narration. She nailed it despite being in a cold forest, uneven ground and a few rogue cows. Wouldn't hesitate to work with Yvonne again on future projects. Very talented young actress.’

Hugo Tickler Director of Angel

‘Yvonne impressed in her audition showing a full range of emotions and I was very pleased to be able to cast her in this challenging play. Playing the estranged wife of the lead actor, she grew in her role during rehearsals and took direction very well, developing her character with imagination. Yvonne is a creative performer and has a natural stage presence; I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. She is reliable and committed actress and I would not hesitate to direct her again in future projects.’
