Blackwood played Alexis in the 2015 episode “Preparing the Weapon” of the crowdfunded TV series Cops and Monsters.
In 2018 she appeared in a short drama film called Sundown in 2018, an award-winning short film directed by Ryan Hendrick.
In 2020, she played Amy Pond in the Doctor Who short: “The Raggedy Doctor by Amelia Pond”.
She played the young Amelia Pond in several Doctor Who episodes; “The Eleventh Hour“, “The Big Bang“, “Let’s Kill Hitler“, and “The God Complex“, with footage of her briefly reused in “The Angels Take Manhattan“.
She is the cousin of Karen Gillan, who portrayed the adult Amy Pond, although they had never met before Blackwood was cast. Resemblance to Gillan was a factor in her casting.
In 2020, she appeared in the romantic comedy film Lost At Christmas, which also featured Doctor Who actors Sylvester McCoy and Frazer Hines.
Trivia
Was cast as the younger version of Amy Pond at the suggestion of her cousin, Karen Gillan, whom she had never met until the first day of shooting. Unsurprisingly, she grew up to closely resemble her cousin.
In 2023, it was announced that she would play a younger version of Amy Pond in Doctor Who audio stories by Big Finish Productions.
