Film Project Planning: Casting

The two actors I cast in my short film are Elena Bretoi and Derrick Lazama to play the couple of Kate and Jake.  This will be a challenge in filming because both of these people hate each other in real life.  It will be a struggle to get them to work together and as a couple for filming.  I am hoping that we can all be professional and understand the importance of assuming the character when acting.  I will also be utilizing my father, John Knuth, as the dad in my film.  He will be an easy person to work with, as he understands that my ideas as the director are important.  He will take my notes and apply them to his acting.  I am excited to see ho filming goes and hopefully I can keep my two lead actors from fighting with each other.
