ABOUT THE CASTING PROCESS!

ABOUT THE CASTING PROCESS!

We’re opening the doors to all of Hawai‘i for this project (And those who come from hawaii and are maybe at school on the mainland) —and we truly mean everyone. Please submit your intro tapes as soon as possible! Don't wait for the deadline! For this series, we’re not just casting actors—we’re building a real, authentic world made up of the people who actually live it. Whether you’ve never stepped in front of a camera or you’ve always been curious but never had the chance, this is for you. No experience is required. In fact, we’re especially excited to meet those who have never done this before. Our process is simple and designed to feel low-pressure. We’re asking for short, natural submissions—just be yourself. Tell us who you are, where you’re from, and anything you want us to know. From there, we’ll begin shaping the story around you. This isn’t about fitting into a role—it’s about creating characters inspired by real personalities, real friendships, and real life across the islands. We’re committed to representing the full spectrum of Hawai‘i—its cultures, communities, and voices. That means casting wide and making sure every corner of the islands has a chance to be seen. Actors are absolutely welcome, but this is not a traditional casting process—we’re looking for authenticity first. If picked up, this project is designed to run for a minimum of four seasons, creating long-term opportunities and a chance to grow with the story over time. So submit. Share. Tell your friends, your family, your classmates, your teammates. Come as you are. This is your chance to be part of something built by Hawai‘i, for Hawai‘i.

About the Casting Team

At Alessi Hartigan Casting, finding real people is what sets us apart—we’ve cast over a million individuals and built one of the largest, most connected, community-driven networks in the industry by going beyond databases and into real communities. That’s why we’re the perfect fit for this Hawai‘i teen drama: this project is all about authenticity, culture, and real voices, and we’re passionate about discovering new faces and shaping characters around who people truly are. We’ve spent years building relationships across communities and creating opportunities for first-timers, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring that energy to Hawai‘i and help uncover its next generation of talent.
