new actor

 In the beginning, our plan was to do the acting ourselves too, however, now it was not possible. That is why I contacted the dramatics club in our school and got two volunteers. 

Initially, we wanted a girl to play the role, as stereotypically, girls are portrayed as "easily scared". Despite that, we settled with a boy from our class. Truthfully, no one applied no matter what we suggest. It was either, "too busy with tests" or "I can't shoot off-campus'. Excuses, yes. but we can't exactly force them. 

The two who did apply were asked to give quick auditions and the one with better expressions and nonverbal communication skills was chosen. 

And so, here's our actor...

Fahad Opel. 



In the end, we decided to use this situation to our advantage and used a male character as a challenge to the stereotype of strong men by making him the victim who gets scared and freaked out rather easily.
