-Knew each other & thus felt comfortable acting around one another and could deliver a perceivable, watchable performance.
-Had experience of acting / a musical ear - we needed the leads to naturally work with rhythm in mind & could relate impulsively to a theatrical world & the requirements needed to pull off a confident performance. Our lead male (a close friend of one of our group members) Connor Bingham, is a A level Drama & music student, as well as playing in a band. Accordingly we knew that he would not only be dauntless in their acting ability, but would enjoy working with us, and we could give clear directorial constructive criticisms to without feeling awkward or brash.
*We knew that without the opportunity for a big audition style casting / a widespread of diverse actors & high budget additions like : props / specifically made costume, to play around with that flexible & convincible acting was going to be critical. We also wanted to secure people that we knew would be punctual and have coherent attendance, we needed this reliability because these leads would be holding the entire piece together. Furthermore this is specifically why we selected one of our GEAR girls to play the lead female, as we knew that being part of the filming, editing and producing package they would clearly be present & available 100% of the time & thus extremely easy to work with & use for reshoots or additional scenes.
