Search Results: would you take him back

Alright GaG, help me out—which one of my friends should end up dead? (In the film, not real life 😂)

Cannot believe I'm back on GaG asking y'all for help with a casting decision.

I've been away for a while and I'll be honest, still not entirely sold on the whole AI-everywhere thing, but I could use some human opinions on this one.

I'm currently writing and producing my first-ever short film. It's a murder mystery, and for the first time in my life I'm stepping in front of the camera too. I've always been more of a writer/producer behind the scenes, but my friends finally convinced me to take a role.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) for me, that role is the lead detective.

The story follows a close-knit group of friends. One of them ends up dead early on, and my character has to figure out who did it. Everyone has secrets, everyone has motives, and everyone starts pointing fingers as the investigation unfolds.

Now here's my problem.

The three main characters, besides myself, are all being played by close friends, and one of them has to get bumped off to kick off the mystery.

Kat (Catherine) – youngest of the bunch and brings a fun energy to every scene. Part of me feels like killing her off would be a waste.

Priya – my bestie, absolute sweetheart, and also helping with music and sound effects for the film.

Kendra – one of the main reasons this project even exists. She encouraged me to write the script and actually make it happen. Plus, she's a mom I don't know how her kids will feel to see their mumma bumped off.

So I need some help.

Which one should get the unfortunate honour of being the victim that starts the mystery?

Who would you be most curious about if they were found dead in the opening act?

And perhaps most importantly... who do you think could pull off the best dead victim face? ☠️😂

Feel free to base your answer on story logic, mystery tropes, character vibes, or absolutely nothing at all.
