Amarah-Jae St Aubyn, made her mark at this year’s New York Film Festival, appearing in the opening film, Lovers Rock, part of Steve McQueen’s Small Axe anthology series about life in London’s West Indian community.

St Aubyn graduated from The Brit School in 2012, before starring in The National Youth Theatre’s productions of Othello and Jekyll and Hyde, and joined the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on the West End in 2018. Commenting on working with McQueen in an interview with Screen Daily, the south Londoner said ‘Even though he may be strong on his vision, he is so open to actors and excited for us to bring something new’.
