Actress Lindsey Middleton, as Vanessa
Actor Highlight Reel
Lindsey Middleton is one of the hardest working actors involved in this production. In addition to playing the supporting role of Vanessa, Rose’s former best friend and first love in Out With Dad, she would go one to produce and star in the spin-off series Vanessa’s Story.
Directed by Jason Leaver
Director Highlight Reel
Purposefully distinct from Out With Dad, Vanessa’s Story is a gritty: shot with a skeleton crew, entirely handheld, in black & white.
Writing by Jason Leaver
Writer Highlight Reel
Much of third season of Out With Dad was written five years ago, before the character Vanessa was conceived for the first season of that series. When it came time to revise and produce season three – there was no Vanessa in it. This has inspired Vanessa running away from home and attempting to live on the streets. This story takes such a dark turn, deemed too dark for Out With Dad – so it was decided to write a separate script, away from the events of Out With Dad’s third season.
“In the beginning, I was terribly nervous writing this series. I was not confident that it was my place to tell this story. Yet, all these years later, the audience has been so very kind and accepting. It has been a privilege to tell this story.” ~ Jason Leaver
Original Score by Adrian Ellis
Music Highlight Reel
For this spin-off series, Adrian Ellis was forced to abandon all of the themes and style of Out With Dad, to create a much different voice.
This highlight reel is a selection of some of the director’s personal favourite cues from this season.
