Casting the characters in my film opening was easy because both were based on me and my best friend. Since the characters are young student-athletes like us, it made sense for us to play the roles. Our real-life friendship would make the on-screen connection feel natural, and being athletes ourselves helped make the story more realistic. Choosing ourselves also made the casting process simple since we already understood the characters and their experiences.
We already understand each other’s personalities and emotions, making our scenes more believable.
Since we are both athletes, we can give an accurate portrayal of the physical side of our roles without needing to pretend or train leading up to filming. Our own experiences matched the story, making it easier to act. Choosing ourselves also made casting simple since I didn’t need to find other actors or explain the vision to someone else. It'll the film personal, relatable, and true to our real lives.
