In our original script, our main character, Marty, had a son named Justin. We quickly pegged Gerardo Francisco Yanez as Marty's rebellious offspring after an amazing audition that showed immense deapth in the young talent. Then came Brenda.
Brenda Valencia sent us an audition even though we posted the role for a male actor--the only woman to do so in the hundreds of auditions received. Her reading of the part of Justin was so good that we had a decision to make: should Marty have a son or a daughter?
After an hour of talking it through, we all decided that the script needed a rewrite: Marty will now have a son and a daughter and script should have a twist involving both.
