Ayesha Pervais
As
Nadia
Abigail Copland
As
Alexa
When thinking about the character of Nadia, we
felt that Ayesha was most suited for this role.
Ayesha facial expression were able to match the
kindof personwe wanted to present in our trailer.
We wantedtoget acrossthat vulnerability but also
show that there is more to this character than
meetsthe eye.ForfilmingpurposesAyeshawanted
to take part in thisas she enjoysacting and wanted
to gain a wider experience of different characters.
Ayesha is also of the same age as the character of
Nadia which makes things more realistic to an
audience.
The character of Alexa represents the typical
mean girls in a high school environment. Her
character ispresentedas the antagonist, however

was perfectforthisrole as her sassy personality is
exactly what we wanted to see within her
character. Abi is also very natural under camera
presence sowe feltshe waswell fit to take on this
role.
