Actors and decisions

Role: Lindsey Cohen
Actor: Katharine Kerr

For the role of Lindsey Cohen we need the character to look like a stereotypical girly girl and for this we need a girl with long hair who was slim and attractive. Long hair is often associated with vanity which we felt was fitting for the character of the “girl girl”, also whilst decicding who to pick for this role we found that Katharine Kerr often wears a lot of make up which is often seen as another feature of “popular girls”. We felt that Katharine would be a very good candidate because she fitted the profile well and also she had made it apparent that she was found of acting.


Role: Jennifer Stellar
Actor: Nia So

The role of Jennifer Stellar is a very strange and different role, we need someone who would stand out but not just in terms of her looks but also her attitude. The whole point of Jennifer as a character was to have someone strange and out of the ordinary in terms of “Aryan” we required Jennifers character to be foreign and so we need someone who looks foreign which would also reflect the foreign name of our film being “Aryan” which is German. We chose Sonia Kamili because she has a very foreign look about her, she is of Arab descent so she has pale skin and dark hair which we felt made her look very foreign and slightly suspicious, also her facial features are quite dark which we felt again would reinforce this idea of her being foreign and strange.
