Casting Call for "The Hotline" Indie Feature Film for Teens

The younger of two brothers always felt judged for his passions and the way he expressed himself, with his older brother, Logan, inciting most of these negative thoughts. He often prefers to avoid confrontation, and while noble, his high empathy for others often leaves him neglecting himself. His best friend, Max, has kept Noah from feeling entirely like an outsider; however, his deep-rooted insecurities and fears keep him from truly letting his friend get to know him.

Scott's younger brother and a good friend of Max. Karter isn't afraid to wear his emotions on his sleeve. He's not afraid to let someone know if he's pissed off or feels a certain way about something. He lives in the moment, focusing on what matters.

Miles is authentically himself; some view him as odd, while others see him as genuine. He's been a wallflower most of his life, though not exactly by choice. After finding a group of friends who don't treat him any differently, he tries to make sure they know he cares.

Ben doesn't take most things seriously because he's never had to; he cares about his friends but mostly shows it through friendly shit talk and jokes. He's closest with Miles because he's known him the longest.

Max, since he was very young, was always a social animal, believing he could read people before even talking to them. Not very sentimental, but he makes up for it tenfold in loyalty. In 9th grade, he met Noah, now his best friend. Over the years, he has slowly tried to bring Noah out of his isolation, but he is recently starting to feel like his friendship might be holding him back.
