Tiana Kaselle was chosen to play the lead role of Natalie in the short film. She was selected due to her experience in school and professional productions, as well as her on-screen presence and ability to relate to the character based on age, demeanor, and presence. A drama teacher was chosen to play the small role of a teacher due to the minimal requirements, and because they would know how to act convincingly on camera as an "angry teacher."

1. CHARACTER PROFILE SARAH GHILE

2. NATALIE BY TIANA KASELLE
Our short story features one on screen character
throughout the production, being our protagonist
known simply as ‘Natalie’. In terms of actresses, we
had a few options in place and there were variables to
be considered such as availability of the actress, her
experience and on screen presence.
Tiana Kaselle retained all these qualities as well as a
grand amount of talent that we all believed could
bring our character to life. Tiana’s experience in
school productions as well as professional YouTube
and independent movie productions were influential
factors in desiring her be our actress, but it was also
how easy it was to relate our character to Tiana – in
aspects of there age, demeanour and presence, there
were similarities to be found between them.

3. ‘TEACHER’
The only other one screen character to appear in
our short film will be a ‘teacher’. This role was
very small and thus did not have many
requirements in terms of qualifying for the
position. This role educes a few lines, said by a
women of middle age with the stereotypical
costume you would expect of a teacher. We felt it
would be wise to ask to ask a drama teacher to
play the role of the ‘teacher’ and feature [briefly]
in our short film as they would expectedly know
how to conduct themselves on camera and
hopefully be convincing as a ‘angry teacher.’
