We started finding the actors as soon as we finalized our script (the 3rd edition of it). We needed to find four characters: Annie, Annie's mom, Fish n Chips (stranger), and Jeff (Annie's classmate). Each character needs different characteristics and appearance.
Regarding the character Annie, luckily, one of our friends instantly showed some interest in staring in the movie when we introduced the script to her. We asked her if she wanted to be the main character, and she immediately agreed. Her name is Nhung. She is perfect for the role thanks to her great facial expression for both happy and sad feelings.
However, with the other roles, we were not that lucky. The most common reason people reject to star in our movie is that it is pretty scary and creepy, they can not act up to the character, and they are busy. For instance, finding someone to be Jeff was challenging because although it is just a movie, no one wants to be a creepy stalker. This pushed the group to decide that we, as the movie crew, must also be the actors.
While I starred in Fish n Chips, Hien (our art director) starred as Annie's mom. Fortunately, we finally found someone willing to star as Jeff in our movie. His name is Quoc An.
Despite the challenges, I finally found all the necessary actors for the script. I hope we can get along soon so the acting will look as professional as possible.
