THE CAST

The 751 Crew needed to understand that to be a part of this film, the actors would have to go to a dark place where they dominate women, treat them like crap both physically and psychologically. It was required of them to speak to women in a derogatory manner, to manhandle them and do unspeakable things that the Director prays they are never a part of in real life. 

 The actors were made aware of the demanding physical effort and situational grit and drama that would be required for the roles of the Victims. RED LIGHT made the cast aware that Victims would portray roughhousing, and being called out of their names. The actors were brave enough to dedicate their talent to get the message out as they understood the importance of the film. The Director’s expectations were gritty and they were up for the challenge as we can all imagine how Human Trafficking affects true victims.  We were all clear of the vision and the assignment for the cause.  

The Business Associates were instructed to play the roles of suave businessmen who were always looking for the best deals on the product to enhance their overall productivity for their various businesses. It was always important that their bottom lines worked out in their favor in profits for returns on their investments. The Director wanted them to move as businessmen, to treat the purchasing of women in the human trafficking circuit as if they were simply moving stocks and trades. 

The Madams did not even realize that they were actually Madams and a part of the underworld Human Trafficking activities. The Director had to explain the expectations of their roles as Madams and their relationship to Queen Madam Loray, the greatest, most respected and feared madam of them all.

The F-Boyz were made aware that their characters needed to treat and refer to women in the most horribly, disrespectful ways as possible. Sometimes it took a little coaching and the Director had to physically and verbally demonstrate the level of obscenity and inappropriateness that she wanted.
