Lydia-May Cooney

Lydia-May Cooney grew up in Staffordshire, UK. She was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 11, but she never let it stand in her way. Her love for storytelling and unique way of thinking shaped her into the actor she is today.

Poetry has been a part of Cooney’s life since she was four years old. Each year in school, she was required to memorize a piece of poetry and compete against her classmates for a chance to perform it in front of all the parents at an end-of-year event. She won the competition several times.

Acting has always been her passion, and bringing other people's words and stories to life is what she loves most. She is incredibly grateful that her work was selected to be filmed.
