“Casting is an iterative process, and it requires a lot of patience and perseverance,” he said. “But ultimately, it’s worth it, because when you find the right actors, it can make all the difference in the world.”
To achieve this balance, Lapiedra and his team conducted an extensive search for talent, holding auditions in Colombia and other parts of Latin America. They also worked closely with local casting directors and agents to find the best actors for the project.
The casting process had a profound impact on the final product, according to Lapiedra. The actors brought a level of depth and nuance to their characters that elevated the entire film.
