First up, Kelly Rogers has been cast as Beth. Quiet and loyal, Beth is the heart and soul of the group of friends at the centre of the film. Her quest for true love drives her out of her comfort zone, and into a quirky and frustratingly funny world.
A veteran of stage productions going back into her childhood, this is Kelly's first film. She's also a multti-tasker... aside from acting, Kelly is a talented singer/songwriter who will be featured on the film's soundtrack (check out her music HERE). Behind the scenes, she will also be filling the important role of hair and make-up artist for the production.
Next up is Angelia Deluca, who will be playing Sammi. Acid-tongued and quick-witted, Sammi is the truth-teller of the group, often saying what needs to be said in the bluntest manner possible. She's Beth companion in the search for a mate, but often regrets it.
Angelia is also a newcomer to film, but has shown the ability to fall into a difficult part with ease and good humour. She was a softball MVP in Cleveland for eight years, and has a self described "superb Edward Cullen resistance"...which also means the lady has good taste.
Brad Arner has been selected to play the role of Zeke in the film. Quiet and contemplative, Zeke is Beth's partner in running the show until a restless spirit leads him to find his path elsewhere. His exit causes the rest of the gang to re-think the direction their lives are taking, but his compassion prevents him from abandoning them completely.
A veteran of numerous stage performances, I first met Brad while working on the independent TV show Quarter Bin. He's a real pro who shows up prepared, and can find the emotional centre of a character with little prompting.
Finally, the role of Miller will be played by Barberton resident DJ Remark. Miller is the sarcastic foil of the group, intensely loyal yet refusing to take anything TOO seriously. He's also the stress-relief director for his friends, always ready to help people burn off a little tension.
DJ is a media student who originally answered an ad looking for technical crew for the project. His own skewed outlook onlife made him the perfect fit for Miller, however. He's also drummer who's band, Wixor (listen HERE), will be featured on the soundtrack as well.
Now that we have our cast, it's full steam ahead on the production. Welcome aboard, everyone!!!
