A stress has been take off our chest… we have found our actresses ! This has been a mission, as there were specific characteristics we wanted out actresses to have. We also had to assure that the people playing these roles could convincingly convey the part. However, after two weeks of our mission we have cast the best women possible for the role.
Our first concern was to cast a teenage girl that had acting experience for the role of the Victim. This victim would have to convincingly be able to show deathly fear and play off being injured in a realistic way. We decided to go with Vernie Rikes. Vernie has been acting since middle school. She has played the lead in several of her Falcon Cove Middle School and American Heritage High School plays. We are very excited to work with an experienced actress, and are very confident that she will be able to bring our ideas to life!
Next part to cast was the kidnapper. We wanted the kidnapper to be a girl to break the stereotype of the typical male. We chose to use our very own Sofia Chifari to be our actress for this part. It was important that the actress playing this role was slightly taller than Vernie, to give a stronger sense of intimidation. Sofia and Vernie have been friends since middle school, so they have established chemistry already. This chemistry will allow the subjects to be comfortable and give their best performance.
Lastly, for the role of the Mother we have chosen to use Sofia’s mom Caroline. For the mother role we wanted to get a real 40 year old as a teenager playing a mom would seem unprofessional. We want our film to be they’re most realistic possible. Also, Sofia’s mom has a more open schedule which will be easier when trying to make a shooting schedule.
Now that we have our actresses set, we are officially on track to begin filming on Sunday ! We are so excited… stay tuned !
