Casting the short.

 Soooooo we have a cast, and a story to tell!

For the role of Tom and the boss I thought it would be favorable to cast adult actors, so I immediately thought of casting Lito Beccara, one of my good friends from Inside Out Theatre, as the role of Tom.

 I envision Tom, as a character, being this sort of awkward, shy, quirky guy who works at the office, kind of inspired by some of the characters actors like Michael Cera have played in previous shows.  Him deciding not to go in for a handshake at the start of the film when he gets all inside his head is our very first impression of him, and with Lito as Tom I absolutely believe this persona will shine through! 

So I communicated with Lito and he said yes!

(That's Lito in the blue YAY)

For the boss I casted another adult I've worked with previously, his name is Daniel Sanchez! In this picture he's on the far right. I've worked with both of them on Inside Out Theatre's production of the Hunchback of Notre Dame and they both have such an amazing work ethic and are so serious about their craft, I trust that we will have the best experience working with them as well.

For the boss I envisioned having him be very strict, and stern, at the beginning, so that there is a shift in tone on the last clip of the scene where we come to find that the boss is actually a softie who found comfort in the fact that Tom was finding different ways to interact with others.
