I've casted my father to play the protagonist, Michael. He fits the profile of an ex mafia boss perfectly. My father has a New York accent which fits the characterisation of stereotypical members of the Mafia. Furthermore, he is balding which will help portray that he's elderly and implies that he's been in the business for a long time.
Michael is a retired mafia boss with dementia. He reminisces on a time when an old rival jumped him and left him all beaten up. Michael intends on taking revenge by dismembering his old foe.
I'm casting myself to play Michael in the flashback, as I already look like a younger version of himself. This will help to portray that the scene is a flashback, and that Michael is clearly younger.
Casting Roberto and his 3 crew members of my friends - They're the same age as me, who is playing Michael in his early 20's.
My sister will play his daughter - She's got a rather calm and caring persona, hence why I feel that she could play the role of the person who ultimately helps Michael come back into touch with reality at the end. Moreover, it’s obvious that she likes like the daughter of Michael due to the facial similarities, making it clear that she is indeed his daughter.
