Casting

Let me introduce the cast to you. The therapist, Lilly, the protagonist, and Valerie are the key characters that are portrayed throughout the scene. I'm happy to say that I have discovered my ideal casting while having to consider factors outside my control and other people's schedules.

Lilly = Yael Mendelson

I'd like to utilize myself as Lilly's main character since I've given her some of my own personality qualities, and over time I've grown to love her and be her friend if she were real. Lilly will be shown as being quite lonely and down on herself in the opening, which requires a lot of skill to perform because it involves evoking a lot of emotion. Despite Lilly's insecurities, the masks are useful because they essentially hide half of your face. In addition to playing the lead role, I think I can produce the opening as I envision it.

Therapist = Karina Gonzalez

Karina Gonzalez is a family friend member from my mom who is overall the sweetest person to me. She treats me well and acts as if I am her daughter. She is coming from Mexico to Florida to visit me and  I thought this was a perfect way to bond with her and she said she'll gladly help me with the opening during spring break.

Valerie = Ana Paola Gonzalez 

Ana Paola Gonzalez is the daughter of Karina Gonzalez. Ana is the same age as me and we just get along so well. We've known each other since we were little because our moms were best friends. I love when Ana visits me from Mexico and I visit her from Florida. It's nice to see her once a year and she is also interested in the film industry so she was excited to be apart of this cast because she wants to learn more about it for her future career.
