Casting

A little update...

I have one character casted already: the role of the friend. I have three other characters to cast: the detective, the brother, and the cousin. A couple of my friends are holding auditions for their film opening after school on Friday (2/28). While we aren't looking for the same qualities, they agreed to film the auditions for me so I can see if any of the people that they interview will fit with any of the characters that I have. I would go myself, but I have to go to work right after school and am unable to make it.

For the detective, they'd need to be somewhat intimidating, as the first scene is an interrogation scene. The rest of the characters would need to be a little serious (since they're confessing to a murder and all).

I have someone in mind to play the cousin, but I want to see how the auditions go before I make my decision.

I'm going to be flexible with the genders, but try to stick with my original plan as best as I can. With a limited amount of options and time, I can't get too picky. For example, I might find someone perfect to play the detective, but they're male and I've written the character as a female. The story wouldn't be compromised or drastically different if I change the gender of the characters.

Hopefully I'll find somebody (or three) that will be perfect for my film opening and by next week, at least two more people will have been cast.
