Characters:

Mia - Hope

Alyssa - Sadie

Bella - Sandy

Emma - Sofia

Mom - Mary Jo

Dad - Craig

Mia, the main character is played by Hope Martin. I know Hope and she can hide her emtions really well, she would be really good at taking this role. As Mia she goes to school everyday happy as if nothing is going on at home, but truly she feels sad and depressed at her life at home. Hope and i considered Sadie for this role but she has a really happy and excited personalility where she might not take it seriously. Hope and I have decided that Hope would be able to best portray Mia as the character. I know that Hope will do the best for this character because has been through a lot in her life alone, so she can definitely act the character as if it was real.

Alyssa is  going to play one of the friends at the locker. This character is sort of an extra, just to show the group of friends that Mia has, and how their life compares to hers.

Kate is another friend at the locker. Once again, a small role but, a big impact on the feel of the movie. My friend Emma would do really good with this role, but unfortunately she goes to another school and I don't see her that much. She has a comforting personality but, still a basic popular girl.

Bella is the last friend at the lockers. Hope's friend, Sandy would be great for this role. I'm not very close to her but, I know her personality and she would be good acting as a friend in a group of girls.

Emma is the little sister. Hope's friend Sydney has a little sister which would be a great choice. Sofia is very small and looks very young. She would be able to portray a little girl, while understanding my instructions. Her curious personality would fit this role great.

As the mom, it will be played by Mary Jo, Sadie's mom. She plays the role of a fed up mom, because her husband wont stop drinking and her life feels like its fallen apart. To resemble the the characters needed to play in this film Sadie's parents would be great. . 

The father on Mia in the movie will be played by Craig (Sadie's dad). I don't know Craig very well but, Hope says he is buff and always keeps himself together but, he can play a role like the one we need in this film. With some accessories and props we could make Craig look like the mad, crazy, alcoholic he is.
