This is Thomas who is our main character in our thriller, he's 13 years old, we didn't have many other options for someone his age and height, however he was perfect for it and cooperated well with us to get suitable footage.
He fits our character background profile as he looks innocent, he isn't 12 , he's 13 but he doesn't look any different. It didn't matter that he doesn't live by the coast because that's where we filmed it.
We had an idea to use a young innocent boy because a naive girl is very predictable in this type of situation. Also as we used a dog as another character we wanted to portray the feeling of 'A mans best friend' type of relationship with the two together on screen. Inspiration for this character came from the film 'Hide and Seek' as it also shows a young person lost in the woods being scared about their surroundings, and stuck in a bad situation.
