Halley but not the comet

Our protagonist's name is Halley, and she is an 18-year-old girl. We knew we wanted a space themed name to fit the aesthetic of the story. Halley is named after the famous Halley’s Comet. We found the name by searching up “Space themed names for girls.”

After careful consideration we chose the name Halley, as it is also a semi common girls name and not as obscure as other space themed names. 


Character development:

Halley experienced a traumatic event in her youth, which shaped her into the person she is today and led to her diagnosis of depression. She comes across as indifferent to everything around her, acting detached and self-centered while avoiding others. However, as the film progresses, she meets someone who helps her heal and discover life’s purpose.

 Her name holds symbolic meaning, as it is often associated with strength and courage. In her case, it reflects her resilience despite her loneliness and life of emotional detachment. Through this connection, the film ultimately conveys a message of recovery from depression.

Actress: 

When thinking about who to cast as Halley my mind immediately went to one of my close friends Giovanna Sheldon. Not only is she a talented on-camera presence but she also has a “cool girl” nonchalant persona which works well for the role of Halley. After reviewing some of her previous acting experiences in short films, our group decided she would be a good fit. 


Thats' all for this blog. See you next time!
