Casting & Costuming

April 03, 2018

So for my film I casted a group of about 5 people, all close friends of mine. Here I’ll give some details on their outfits/look for the film:

Jay; Spencer Levy


Seen wearing black jeans and a white shirt, a pretty plain and basic outfit. The reason I chose Spencer for this role is because I really wanted a quirky, decent looking boy for my main character. I think he also gives off a kind of "french" look, which is perfect for the given storyline. 

Main girl; Ambar Ramirez


Seen wearing a white shirt and jeans, with gold hoop earrings. I always wanted Ambar to play this role, since she's cute and quirky but also can play a feisty character. Her and Spence are a good physical contrast too so it made their interaction more interesting within the production. Spencer and Ambar both come from hispanic backgrounds, so I'm mostly focusing on this minority group within my casting.

Barista; Isabelle Miller


Seen wearing a black blouse and pants, with black lace-up boots. I knew from the beginning that I didn't want to use a barista from Undergrounds, since I already had Isabelle's image in mind. I don't know exactly what it is, but she just has this typical barista/coffee maker look. She's more artistic-looking if that makes any sense, so I knew she'd play a good role for hosting this small coffee shop. Although she's only featured in one or two scenes, it's a good look!

Boyfriend; Cesar Larez



Seen wearing khaki pants, a white shirt, and a jean jacket, Cesar plays this role with a lot of confidence. Cesar is the boyfriend of the girl who Leo has been desperately trying to talk to. He comes and whisks her away, and Leo realizes that all his work was for nothing.... or so he thinks.

Other girl; Taylor Sweeney


Seen wearing a black tank and a jean skirt. I wanted Taylor to be wearing something way more laid back and sort of flirty. I was hoping that she would give off a more relaxed and approachable vibe. After all, she knows exactly what Jay has been up to this whole time.

So that's it! a really general rundown for casting/costuming choices. Their personalities will be better seen throughout the production :)
