Casting

   Hey blog! So we have been thinking about casting for our film. Even though my brother will most likely be able to do it, we must think of a replacement option just in case he has to work.  He told us that he thinks he can help us but cannot confirm and that is something that is worrying us. Luckily, we believe that we have found replacements in the event that we need them.

  Alejandro has an older brother that said he would be able to do the part. However, our only worry is that he may not look as old as we want him to and are scared that it wouldn't look realistic. If, however, we have no other option, he has said that he will happily help us and we think we can make it work. If my brother, who is much older and looks the part, is not able to do it, we have also thought of some possible small changes.

 Because Alejandro's brother is not much older than us, we have thought that maybe we can just leave out the specifications on what war or past war related trauma the character has. For example, if my brother is the one to act as the character, we were thinking he could be characterized as a veteran from the Iraq War

 If Alejandro's brother, however, is the actor, than we may have some changes. We thought that we could make him a veteran of the American-led Intervention in Syria. Because this is still going on today, we can have him wearing a brace of some kind and have it seem as he was sent home because of injury. 

 I'll let you guys which actor we end up filming the scenes with!
