Performers & Casting

We have three performers to choose from for the lead part, we are at the stage of potential casting. All three are reliable and available but we have to choose who is most desirable for the main role.

The performer who gets chosen for the lead role will have to wear war paint and wield a fire torch (as showcased on the digipak). They will have to be expressive and move well (in terms of running and doing various movement with the fire torch). 

The location will be at an old farm we have permission to use, it contains a lake, forests and lots of barren land.

We are fortunate that we have the props, location and the lead role performers. Now we can focus on storyboarding, layouts, drafting and scripting. Therefore to establish what shots and types of movements we want to portray and showcase.
