Casting

Leonardo - The Mobster - Jacob: We chose me to be Leonardo because typically, Italian mobsters are male. Also, my black hair and necklace fit the typical mobster look. Leonardo is a very secretive, cunning, and smart man.

Isabella - Stupid Detective - Nicole: We chose Nicole to be Isabella because Nicole is very smart, but can be clueless sometimes.  Isabella is also a smart detective, but is clueless to her surroundings. Her stupidity adds a comedy aspect to the film.

Francesca - Smart Detective - Grace: We chose Grace to be Francesca because Grace is always making fun of Nicole for her clueless personality. We thought there two combating personalities would add comedy and make the audience laugh.

Samantha - Girl who is kidnapped - Emily: While Emily isn't in our group, she is friends with all of us. She also lives near Grace, so she was a perfect extra. Samantha is an athletic girl who finds herself in bad situations often.
