Hi Blog!
Tomorrow is my teams first shoot and we have just finalized our main cast. Actors are crucial to the film, as they are the people bringing the story to life. When coming up with our story and writing our script I already had someone in mind for the "queen bee" character, and the main witch. This character needed to be portrayed by a strong actress, which is why I was thinking of my close friend Andre.
Andre has been involved in our schools musical theatre program for 4 years, and has played roles like Malificient in Descendants, and Sharpay in High School Musical.
Thankfully after a quick text and phone call she agreed to be in our project!
After casting our queen bee, the other two witches were easy to find. I asked one of my best friends, Ambar, who I know through my schools television production club. She is one of our main actresses whenever we make short films, and has acted in countless short films, so I knew we could trust her to do our character justice.
For our third witch we asked Sarina, another member of the television production club, although she doesn't have AS much experience acting, she has been in a few projects, and we trust her to portray the character.
Finally...
casting our protagonist.
I'm not going to lie blog, this wasn't an easy task.
We debated for days about who could play our lead, and asked multiple girls if they were willing to. However, since we plan to film during spring break it severely cut down our options, since many people had plans to travel.
But then! Samuel had a lightbulb moment and came up with a perfect actress! Claire is a freshman in our tv club, so she has that innocent look, but she's also involved in our schools theatre program and she is truly an amazing actress. (She just played the lead in our schools spring musical.) Thankfully, after asking her she agreed to act in our film! Yippee!!!
