Casting Talents for 'Wake Up!' Pilot Episode
How do you know what you’re being told is the truth? If your entire life was a lie, would you be able to tell? Resurgence, based on a soon to be published novel, navigates that question. Following four different characters, see first hand how easily reality can be manipulated. As a pilot episode, the story aims to introduce you to the characters, each with a different background that helped shape their views on the world. See the friendships established and leave wondering how many will last. Learn about the rebellions that came before and how different characters view these 'freedom-fighters', and see what their future holds. Psychological Manipulation, Coerced Compliance, these are real things children across the United States experience. In a fictional setting we are able to bring awareness to these topics and show the very real dangers behind blindly trusting someone.
3 roles
18 y/o Black Hair, Blue eyes Paxton is a kind, loving big brother who cares deeply about the younger teenagers. He hopes more than anything to protect them from the horrors he had to face. The one thing Paxton can’t stand is people who try to grab power, he believes being a team is the most important thing and he is willing to shut anyone who disagrees down.
16 y/o Brunette Hair, Brown Eyes Keven is an enabler. It’s what makes him and Gavin such great friends. He’s not the type of guy who would back down from a fun (possibly stupid) idea. Unlike most teens, he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He cares deeply about his friends (present or future) and family.
16 y/o Red Hair, Brown Eyes Ethan has always cared for people, and he will continue to care for you until you betray him. While his friends enjoy breaking the rules, he will go along with them, but it’s only because he wants to be around them. He is a smart person and wants to put his intelligence to good use (protecting people). His parents died in a factory explosion and so he’s vowed to make the Sectors a better place.
