Choosing Actors

For our film, we're focusing on three main actors, with the possibility of a fourth depending on a key plot point that's still up in the air. The direction we choose will influence whether we bring in the additional actor. So far, we've secured two of the main roles, as the actors have already confirmed their participation.

Character #1- Eva

Eva is the girl going on the date, and we envision her as outgoing, free-spirted, and full of life. We've found the perfect person to bring this character to life. She is deeply involved in theater, which gives us confidence she'll capture the exact vibe we're aiming for. Not only does she have the energy we want, but she also has a vibrant personal style and expresses herself through her clothing, which perfectly matches Eva's personality. If we were able to get professional actors for the role, I can imagine Maddie Ziegler playing her part.

Character #2- Sofia 

Sofia is Eva's best friend, and we envision her as the sweet, innocent childhood best friend, with the ability to portray a sense of stress as the story would unfold. We found a great actress for this role. Like our actress for Eva, she is also heavily involved in theater. With her natural, innocent look, she perfectly embodies Sofia's character, and her acting skills are amazing, allowing us to shape her performance as needed. If I were to cast professional actors, I can imagine Jenna Ortega playing Sofia.

Character #3- Stalker 

We're still undecided on who we want to cast for this role, as we have two strong options, each with its own set of pros and cons. One option has a theater background, so we know he will be able to deliver the lines and emotion how we want. However, he doesn't quite match the physical look we imagined for the stalker. The other option is a guy that does fit the look, but he has no acting experience. To figure out which works best, we plan to bring both actors on the first day of filming to test their performance and see which one captures the character most effectively.
