Casting

Casting:

Character: Austin – Played by Alessandro Cappuccio

Props: The costume is anything that a teenager would ordinarily wear and there are three props required. The first is a packet of beef jerky as it will be used as part of Austin’s lunch that he brings with him in case he doesn’t like any British food. The second prop is pop tarts, these will be used in the green screen sequence as part of Austin’s dream of food from home and they will be thrown to him as if his mind is giving them to him. The last is a phone, which is used to show how he gets to Josh’s house which is the main scene.

Character: Josh – Played by Joshua Stanley

Props: The costume is the same for Josh as it is for Austin as they are both teenagers in their free time, although Josh will need to have a number of props and similarly to Austin they are to do with food and drink as they create a lot of conflict between the two cultures. Josh will need crumpets, chips and crisps which are all to be used as they are either different to what they have in America or they are called something different which again will be used to create conflict. The other prop is beer again because the restrictions are different in the UK compared to the US. However should the actors be under 18 then there would be an adult present, however if both actors are over 18 no adult will be required.
