Jonny Gardner was cast as the lead character Ricky because after auditioning many actors, he was confident, put in effort, and was organized and reliable to work closely with. His young look was also what the filmmakers wanted to relate to most of the audience. Gregory Wade was cast in a smaller supporting brother role because he had similar features to Jonny to believably portray brothers, and was also fun, organized and reliable to attend filming days as needed.

3. After auditioning a number of individuals, we
established Jonny was the right actor we
needed. He is a confident individual who puts
effort into everything he does. He’s very
organised and reliable which is what we
wanted as we were going to be working
closely with them. We also knew his look
is what we wanted as he is young and
many of our audience members would be
able to relate to him.

4. Although Gregory will only be in a small part
of our film his role was still very important.
We had to get two people that had similar
features so it would believable that they
are brothers. Apart from this, Gregory was
also very good to work with as he is fun,
organised and reliable. This would
mean he would be able to attend
days when we need him for
filming.
