Eleven: The Cast

Eleven is a film that we wrote to show off a curtain situation in life that many young people endure, although not necessarily at the age Blake does. Therefore the acting was of prime importance to selling the story. Although we had a larger cast than there was interest, and we also needed a curtain look for the main three character, as we had a clear vision of what we wanted them to look like. We then went online looking for a website in which we could as actors to be a part of our project. We used CastingCallPro. Here is a rundown of all of the actors in our film and why we choose them.

Blake is the lead character, and although there was a lot of acting required we had a clear vision of who we wanted. Blake is my cousin and is incredibly photogenic and as a result of this and his trust in me to lead him through the project we choose finally to use him.

Andrew is Blake’s father in the film. We needed someone who looked rather harmless at first until you see the potential of the person. The actor is called Alex Walker and we found him on CastingCallPro. We choose him for these reasons and also the fact that he has a lot of acting experience so he was adept as working with a range of different directors.

Rachael is Blake’s mother in the film. Oona Kirsh plays Rachael. She was the perfect look for what we were intending the mother to be. She was soft and loving, and had the look of a mother, this was perfect for her role.
