Casting.

I chose a good friend of mine to play the role of Justin. Callum Smiles and I grew up together, so I had a good gage on what he'd be like to work with. The character of Justin is in no way simple, he's conflicted and interesting, and I needed someone to bring the character to life. Callum's not only easy and fun to work with, but he's got a huge personality that seeps into every aspect of the role he's playing. I feel that without appropriate acting the character would've easily seemed flat and dull, however Callum's general demeanor made sure that the subject was interesting and easy to scrutinise. 



Callum's 'look' was also very similar and appropriate to the role. I envisioned Justin to be attractive, handsome, but also slightly scruffy and slightly troubled - not saying that Callum is troubled, but he suited the vision I had of a strong character that was subtle and effortless.
