“The team is wonderful,” says Bakshi. “They’re very supportive. They’re caring. They’re respectful and they’re extremely professional. And they’re very busy. But even if they’re busy, they have time. Initially, we used to meet frequently just to see where we were at … They’re very mindful of what I want to do and they push me in every direction … I was very impressed with Bronia and her team.”
The agency has been instrumental in helping Bakshi land roles in some of her favourite projects, including Better, Sweetness in the Belly, and Cha, a BAFTA-long-listed animated short. BBA Management supports Bakshi throughout the casting process.
