Timothy Hines expressed his elation with Ellie Lehman’s talent, “Ellie came to my attention when she was cast in a small role in “Tomorrow’s Today”. Immediately I saw how the camera loved her. She was the definition of photogenic. I screen tested Ellie for a project after that. All of her acting choices were true and she exuded qualities similar to what I would say is a cross between Geena Davis and the singer Katy Perry. A purity combined with strength. The project didn’t go forward but I had her in mind when I wrote the role of Mattie Wilde. Like Mattie, Ellie is extremely intelligent and literally one of the nicest people I have ever met. She is destined for stardom.”
