Casting

For the part of Rachel we chose to cast Rachel Longstaff. Rachel Longstaff is a 17 year old performing arts student from Essex. She is a model and therefore had the attractive attributes that we were looking for, and she looked old enough to play our 20 year old university student. We chose Rachel because we feel that her audition was believable and that she performed with such professional emotion.

For the male part we chose to cast Francessco Manfredi (Or Deej, his nickname) who is also a 17 year old drama student from Essex. We were very impressed with the quality of his performance and how he portrayed the sinister flirtyness that we wanted the male lead to have.
Here is His audition. We feel Deej is perfect for this role as he has a very deep, intimidating voice which is hard to recognise. Although the actual male character's face cannot be seen in the movie, Deej's body language really interprets the characters mood and attitude.
