Casting

I wanted to talk to you guys today about who I will be casting for my parts. For this project, I will need 2 main characters and about 3 backup people. Here are the people I will be casting for the parts:

Johnny Walker

The person that would be playing Johnny Walker in the film opening would be my friend Santiago Fermin. He is a big looking guy so he would play this older character well. He is fast and the clothing I have planned for his character would suit him well. In case you don't know what this person's clothing looks like, check out the mood board in one of my previous posts about the characters. The same for Pakhan. 

Pakhan

The Pakhan will be a character that is not shown in the film opening. This is a character who is mentioned in the opening but does not show up since he is a busy person. This definitely adds to the suspense of the opening because it will make people imagine what he looks like and see him as this huge powerful person who doesn't show up to all meetings since his time is precious. I know there's nobody to cast for this character since he will not be shown in the opening but I thought it would be a good idea to just introduce the character a bit so you know that he is there but not there at the same time. 

Backup People

Since the backup people have to look like "followers", I can cast my friends for these parts and it would make it easier and look great as well. I will be casting my girlfriend and my sister to be the backup people. This is good because it also ties into representation. 

That's all I needed to say for today's post and i'll see you on the next post. Have a great day!
