CASTING DESCRIPTIONS
[IAN] Accurately perceptive, but maintains a level of unsureness in himself. Enjoys what life has to offer, but takes exceptional hurt to when things take a turn for the worst. Has unique set of coping skills brought on by being "special", as someone once described him as. Prefers to take the long, hard road instead of the short, easy one. MAIN CAST
[AVA] Possesses a great amount of wondrous faith that is difficult to break. True love has always been knocking at her door and is willing to put her heart on the line. Questions her surroundings and wonder why things happen, but eventually comes to terms with the situation at hand. Captivating, daring and full of hope. MAIN CAST
[JAKE] Genuinely curious when it comes to the people he cares about. Willing to suspend disbelief when something out of the ordinary happens. Has typical values, but occasionally takes a more extreme approach when feeling under pressure. SUPPORTING CAST
We appreciate everyone who considers auditioning for our film.
