Fiction Adaptation Unit: Pre-Production - Casting: Applicant 1

Yesterday I checked Starnow and found that I had one application for my film:




His name is Adam Hickey and in his application he states he lives in Tonbridge and would like to apply for both roles. 



He also provided a video from his Youtube channel which I had a look at along with a couple other of his videos and decided that he would better suited for the Narrator role due his diction and look.

He has a theatrical background and I feel this will help with the Narrator as his emotion shifts in the film and he addresses the camera multiple times: similar to that of theatre.

I messaged him and asked if he would like to take the role as Narrator; to which he obliged. I then offered to pay for his train fare for his troubles and have sent him a copy of the current script (without any alterations).


So far this has been a pleasant experience; as previously mentioned I am not great with communication especially if it's to a stranger and it's even more uncomfortable if it's via phone or Email. Thankfully I've managed to cope and hopefully this whole production will make me more comfortable with communication.
