Casting
Due to moving schools, one of my biggest obstacles with casting is the availability and organization among my peers.
The moment I thought of the opening scene of my project, I thought of one of my good old friends who is an actress and loves to perform, Nylah. Because though I love media and everything involved with it, I can't act for the life of me. This thought process led to thinking about other friends that could help. I love my friends, but a lot of them would unfortunately not taking acting seriously, especially when it came to the scene where they'd have to work together. Due to this, I also remembered how Nylah's school has a prominent theatre program, so I asked if there were any other friends who would be interested in volunteering. Fortunately, she has a friend who volunteered to be her little sister, who in my opinion fits the part very much, but we so far fall short on who's to be the father, officer, and civilian. So basically, my cast lacks three people. Though, I don't think I was clear on the part where I needed people for the other roles, and I communicated with Nylah today. There is still hope!
If this plan doesn't work out, I plan to begin asking my friends or anyone they know who might be interested, along with my family who said they'd s tep in if it were necessary.
I wouldn't be able to pay anyone for this, since money doesn't grow on trees, but I assured that any actor who agrees to join this project will be fully credited on this blog and in the actual credits during the movie opening, and they can use that for their own Portfolio's however they like. Along with that I promised free pizza!
Lastly, filming would have two locations, the museum (which would only require the filming crew, me and my mom, and the actress, Nylah), and the second scene, which would be the full crew and cast. Which would definitely be the most hectic filming day.

Meet the actress!
Nylah: For the part of Beatrice, the main.
Nylah is a junior in highschool, but me and her go way back to 7th grade english class. I've always known her to be incredibly creative with real skill to back that creativity up, so it's no wonder why I thought of her to be my lead the moment I started brewing my ideas. She dances, acts, sings, paints, and more!
