Thread: Struggle Within Roles

The Struggle Within Roles ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Character name Jennifer Sampson Gender Female Age14-16 Short description the youngest member of the group she becomes 1 of the seven members of the group that comes together in the movie because of her brother being with the group. While he originally doesnt want her to be with the group for fear that it will get her into trouble she quickly convinces him that she is already in enough trouble and needs the help of the group. ----------------------------------------- Character name Nick Gender Male Age 17-18 Short description He is a gay male who has some moments messing around with Jessie while never actually committing to anything as Jessie is only bisexual and there more friends then anything else. There messing around causes issues for both of them as some homophobic jocks find out about his secret. After being beat up a number of times he ends up being murdered by one of the jocks the others do everything they can to cover it up for there friend team mate. This role is only in the film a few times 1 scene is a nude scene a romantic nude scene with Nick and Jessie together after Jessie shows up at Nicks house soaked from being out in a storm. this scene is controversial simply because it will have 2 males naked and kissing each other the idea of the scene is to really push the story of there closeness this scene falls into the film not to long before nick is killed. The film has a very big anti gay bashinghomophobia message to it. The person playing the role does not have to be gay just willing to play the role. i understand that this role will probably be the hardest role to cast do to not only nudity BUT the fact that its a guy with another guy in a gay role i am looking for someone who is up for the challenge of bringing this character not only to life but to be able to bring such energy to the role that when Nick is killed of the viewers watching the film truly feel sad or angry about what happens i want people to be able to connect with this role while on the other hand i am sure there will be a number of people who hate the character for being gay but those are the fears and reactions we want to be talking about in the film so if we hit that nerve then we are doing something right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Character name Andrew Stevens Gender male Age 18 Short description Head of the High School football team ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Character name John Gilroy Gender male Age 17 Short description Quarterback to the high school football team.
