List of the characters

Main character - Samuel although never mentions name in the short film.

Samuels Mother - In a flash back

Short character profile

Samuel (17 year old boy), who is also the character in the inner monologue, is an average boy from the UK who gets involved with the wrong people and has to come to a solution for his problem or face what has decided to do with himself, he is an average teenager with normal friends who has a history of being slightly mischievous, this trait he possesses has slowly grown over the course of his life and might eventually be landing him in a lot of trouble however he decides to reflect on who he would be hurting because there is still a part of him that cares.

Cast

I decided to cast Sam for the role of Samuel because he suited the average British teenager well, he was easy to access and he worked for free, unfortunately I’m unable to provide a picture of the person who will be playing mum because she didn’t want a photo of her to be online, however I chose her because its Sam’s biological mum and they look alike, adding to the realism of the film in my opinion.

He puts his headphones on, and it fills the outside sound . Inner monologue begins “I can’t believe I’ve got myself into this.” Said Samuel in a disappointed and worried tone. “I just need to get this over with and then I can be done with it. I can’t let anyone know w...
