Casting for our film
Within our opening scene we decided to only use one character who would be the main character. This character would undergo many tough times as well suffer with depression and other factors. But in the end would achieve success and reach their goal. We decided we need a athletic male to fit the role of this character. This was because this actor would be playing a character who would participating in running, boxing and other various sporting activates.
The two candidates we received was Edward Pearson and Nyakeh Duwai. Both of these actors were of an athletic structure and would both fit the role of this character perfectly.
Due to the fact that the stereotype for athletes in films is a black, tall, lean male. We wanted to challenge this stereotype by giving a different approach to the role. This was because we stated from day one that we wanted to challenge stereotypes and use this film as an object to remove racism from sport. We feel as though choosing Edward as our main actor this would challenge this stereotype and show anyone can reach their goals.
