Finalized Characters

The characters are here!  Dani and Gabi, who are friends of Thiago. They are going to portray Betty and August in the film opening. I mentioned in one of the first blogs that we wanted representation in the opening with a non-binary character portrayed by a non-binary person, but we could not find someone for the role. With this in mind, we decided to just have two female characters and one male character. 

Casting people for our project has been a challenge because of Covid, we are trying to be as safe as we can but also have the actors match the description of the characters. We've been trying to cast a James for the opening for the past week but we can't seem to find someone perfect for it until we had a discussion over one of our meetings. We decided to cast Thiago as James because we believe it'll make the scenes more authentic and real since Dani and Gabi are two of his best friends. Most of the shots include the three of them hanging out and spending time together, so this will work out perfectly. They already know each other extremely well, so it won't be awkward to film the scenes.
