Introducing Our Characters
Ana and I have discussed the two love interests and their backstories for a while. We wanted characters with personality and unique backgrounds. We wanted their personalities to shine through in our film opening and for the audience to feel a connection and an attachment to them.
In conclusion, we came up with Daniela and Micheal.
Meet Daniela...
Daniela,16, grew up in Cartagena, Colombia with her mother, Marianne; her father, Rodrigo; and her little brother, Diego. At the age of 12, her family decided to take a leap of faith and move to New York City where her dad could find a better job and the family could be more at peace and safe. It was the hardest thing they have ever done. Daniela and her family left all their relatives behind and did not look back. What she knew as home, disappeared in search of a better life. Daniela is relatively short for her age and has dark brown eyes and hair that reaches her waist. She loves to paint and draw. She has always been very artistic like her father. She grew up painting the beautiful mountainous scenery of the rural areas of Colombia when she would visit her grandmother. She enjoyed long walks in nature with her family.
Meet Micheal...
Micheal, 17, grew up in Jefferson City, Missouri. He has a big family of eight. His two sisters, Chloe and Chelsea; his brothers, Max, William, and Johnathan; and his two loving parents; Marcey and David. His family moved to New York City when he was 10 because his brother Johnathan got a great football offer for a team there. They frequently fly back to Missouri to visit their relatives and friends during the holidays. Micheal plays lacrosse and enjoys being with his teammates every day. He has never had a girlfriend because he truly values his friendships and would not want to take time away from them or lacrosse.
