First time being a director means first time casting! Although various people in the background will be random people who go to different schools that are not going to genuinely mean much. However, there are certain people who are going to be casted as characters important to the film opening. Here is what I was thinking of for my casting options:
Gemma: Played by Me
I decided that I wanted to play Gemma in my film because I know exactly how I want her played. Although known in her school, she gives a warm vibe as well as a clean look that makes people around her feel as if she is a perfectionist. I think I can play a role in my movie and still produce it, because I will have enough time to get to it and let others as well film the exact shots I want. She also embodies a lot of what I’ve always wanted to be.
Janelle: Played by Maia
Maia really impersonates a dumb blonde, although much love to my wonderful friend who will be helping me with my project. I feel like she really represents the character and also is perfect for representation on LGBTQ+ casting due to the fact that she is bisexual. She has a perfect scream and makeup to do this part, as well as the drunk part. She will fit in perfectly for this role.
Logan: Played by Eric
Eric is my best friend, and I practically forced him to be in my film opening. He really doesn’t have many lines and he will always accompany me to my party adventures anyways. I think that this is going to be perfect for him to play as well, since he and I are really close.
Erika: Played by Yael
