Characters:
Justin Wade: A young west-Texas high school senior. The headstrong protagonist of our film. A bull-rider with a lot of growing up to do throughout the film. Our main character with a toughness and drive that leads to his passion for everything he does.
Landon Price: Justin’s taller best friend. Very athletic, and also a graduating high school senior. A calm mannered voice of reason for our protagonist, and someone that pushes him as hard as possible.
Charlie Wade: Justin’s father. A man that is a rancher/farmer that pushes his son as hard as he can. He is tough on Justin and believes his life should revolve around learning the ranching/farming business he’s done for so long, and that is a tough person to convince about Justin’s potential. In all actuality he brings out the best in Justin at the end of it all.
Christine: A pretty girl, of the same age as Justin and Landon; after the loss of Justin’s mother, she becomes a confidant and companion for Justin. As he progresses away from his headstrong nature, she is the person who is right there with Landon helping him through it all, and instilling that belief in him.
Sam Wade: Sam is Justin’s mother. She is Justin’s saving grace, and the person he leans on most. She helps him with struggles and is the one that helps him see the good in what his dad tries to do. She provides for the family, and becomes the inciting incident for the entire story with her passing and encourages the growth that takes place in Justin.
Announcer: Multiple voice talents with enthusiastic sports announcer quality. Preferable experience calling any sort of sport. There will be several for several individual rodeos. |
