We had encountered a problem with one of our actors playing Charlie. Daniel Hows has mentioned that now he is working he feels that he will be unable to commit to filming dates and as he attends a different school from the rest of the cast we think it would be extremely difficult to work around this.
To overcome this issue, Emma and I had a discussion about other potential actors, we needed someone who could act and be at ease in front of the camera and with Mia. We thought of some ideas and we discussed the potential of using Rasharn as the love interest. However Rasharn we had already cast as the attacker, Emma then suggested that these could be the same people to present a plot twist for the audience, having Alexia's love interest be someone that is trying to hunt her down but unexpectedly falling in love with her.
For these reasons we have decided to change actors and use Rasharn as Alexia's love interest and use the name Arby.
Here is Arby's new character profile:
Age:13
Occupation: Student
Job: Works at a bookshop whilst undercover
Age: 18
The charachter of Arby is the love interest of Alexia. Arby is intelligent and brave. When we first meet Arby we see that he cares for Alexia and is concerned for her, wanting to protect her. Arby is working undercover for an organisation that is trying to hunt down the Others, but he gets to know Alexia, falling in love with her and is driven to protect her. There love is quite complicated as Arby is torn between doing his job and his feelings for Alexia. Arby is caring and sensitive, but it it takes Alexia to bring this side out of him.
We chose Rasharn as our actor as he takes Drama as an A-level so will be able to perform the role well, Rasharn is good friends with the other actors and me and Emma so will have no problem being directed and making sure he can attend shoot dates.
