Finding our characters
Finding a cast amongst our peers did present some challenges. After doing plenty of research, we had a clear idea of what we needed to find in order to cast the best person for each role.
Character in our film include:
Dariah Clemonte - Main lead protagonist
Natalia Harding- Main lead antagonist
Quinton "Quincy" Malone - Second lead antagonist
Reagan Odelle - Third lead antagonist
Natasha Clemonte- Main lead's Mother
Bystander 1
Bystander 2
Old Friend 1
Old Friend 2
Main lead protagonist
What we wanted- we want someone who is on the shorter side. We would prefer someone with acting experience as her role is more serious. Ethnicity and race does not matter.
In order to find someone who could potentially fit this role, we looked at our school's drama club, people who are in the musical or have some acting experience. At first, we found the a really good fit for the role. But, come to find out that she was already taken by another group, we were too late. This nearly threw off everything and we struggled to find a replacement. Still we have found no one good enough to fill in the role; we may have to consider holding auditions at this point ahahaha.
Main Lead antagonist
What we wanted- we wanted some who is tall, preferably taller than everyone else but at least taller than the main lead protagonist. Ethnicity and race does not matter. She has to be conventionally attractive.
The other 2 antagonist
What we wanted- wants from the main antagonist applies to these two as well. Gender does not matter, but preferably we want one male and one female. The male will preferably be gay to represent heterogeneity in social class. The female does not have any requirements we are looking for, but we would like her to be diverse for the same reason as the male.
Main Lead's Mother
What we wanted- We want someone that looks older than the cast. She should at least be the same race/ethnicity as the main character. If we do not end up finding that, we can imply that she was adopted in the film.
Bystanders and Old Friends
What we wanted- We do not want anything in particular. They are glorified extras but they are still extras. We need people that can follow directions and match the vibe of the character; meaning, not stealing the show but not looking out of place.
Additionally, we would love to find someone with a mean of transportation (car) because it would be extremely beneficial for all of us, both transportation and filming wise.
