Casting a Family

To use our family concept we will have to cast 5 actors: main protagonist, Mum, Dad, Brother and Sister.

Role: Sister

Name: Polly

Age: 8

Availability: Libby's sister so would be easier to contact and no issues about child care.

Appropriateness: Has acting experience in short films. Cute, round freckled faced innocent looking child.

Role: Brother

Name: Reece

Age: 10

Availability: Daisy's brother

Appropriateness: 

Overall we feel that it is difficult to cast and make over a young actor to look like a parent. This would greatly impact the effectiveness of our teaser trailer and  may be difficult for the audience to understand the role of the characters. Also, there may be issues with children acting (especially if they have no experience) and wearing make up etc.
