Casting Decisions

We felt that one of the most important aspects of the production was making the relationship and emotions believable on screen. Due to the difficulties in hiring high profile actors, we dedicated a lot of thought as to who should play the title characters, a couple which are in a deep relationship. We wanted to cast people who would play a believable older character (20+), proven dramatic credentials and were committed to the production. We also felt it was important to cast a couple that were different and engaging, who would grab the audience’s attention and who would establish a strong connection with the audience. The two actors we have cast complement each other well as a couple and we feel confident about their ability in portraying a believable relationship on screen. We felt that Charli and Renaud were similar as a couple to Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, stars of 500 days of summer. It is the relationship in that film that we wanted to re create with our actors.
