 Casting Choices for the Film Opener!

Hi guys, welcome back to another blog. Today, I will be talking about the cast and why we specifically chose them for each role. Ok lets get started!

Amaar was cast as Kyle because, out of us two, he convincingly portrayed a more casual teenager. Amaar is very relazed and he looked more natural on camera. He also made the character feel more relatable and believable, something I believe I could not have done. Also, as the scene progresses, Amaar shifts from calm to anxious without speaking too much. This is due to his body language and expressions, which is why he was chosen for this role.

My little cousin Emmanuel was cast as Sebastian because of his age and natural innocence. Since he is small and pretty quiet, his personality contrasts with the events that took place, which makes it more disturbing. He took acting classes when he was back home in Colombia, so he already had experience. His reactions and emotions made him suit the role really well, so we were very lucky to have him.

I was chosen to play The Killer because I have more controlled and intimidating mannerisms, which were necessary to portray this character as menacing and scary. This role required someone who could appear threatening without talking, which I believe I did well by using posture and slow pacing. Since I was in a big jumpsuit, I had to let body language define my character. This is why I feel like I suited this character the best.
