Casting (Part 2)

Naturally, Maura was the next role that I cast. I cast Elizabeth Wood. Elizabeth is capable of playing hopeful and hopeless at the same time, and that's essential to Maura's character.

There is some nudity in the film, so I needed someone who was comfortable with that. I'm going to use nudity, and sex, as devices to gain sympathy for Maura's character. I'm not entirely sure she's going to need it, but I think it gives the film a more realistic feel.

The fact that Elizabeth is, also, a filmmaker helped me make my decision. Seeing as this is a very small production, I needed someone who was willing to do anything to get the film made, and she is that.
