Casting our main character, Ruby, will be key to this project coming alive. The perfect candidate will be a genuinely accomplished singer and guitarist, and be able to portray shyness, fear, bravery, awkwardness.
Our street vendor character is also integral to keeping our story ambiguous and mysterious. He must feel at once like a jolly and protective force but also someone who knows more than he is letting on.
Our yuppies must be hedonistic and judgemental on the surface, but beneath have the emotional weight of history to bare.
Our ghost characters will present as neither friend nor foe to build a fear of the unknown in the viewer. They must display the feeling of the uncanny and make the audience feel that something isn't quite right...
