Dame Julie Walters played the fantastic Mrs. Wilkinson in the movie, the teacher who would ultimately introduce Billy Elliot to ballet and, essentially, force him to pursue his love of ballet and join the Royal Ballet School.

Easington Colliery, the town that stood in for Everington during the filming of Billy Elliot, was a former coal-mining town with close connections between its inhabitants. In order to reflect this tight-knit community, cinematographer Brian Tufano had the scenes in the mining village feel as claustrophobic as possible.
