Alterations to Plans

On the Tuesday before shooting, my main actor (John) dropped out of my project because of an important enagement. I asked my friend Pete to step in for me, which he agreed to, and below is the model release form and call sheet for him.

This change also meant changing the main character's name, of which he now has none. I thought that as there are no names mentioned, this wouldn't matter and also adds an absence/sense of removal that could reflect isolation. Also, other films that I like have the feature of nameless characters, such as "Withnail And I" and "Is Anybody There?" - a name adds identity and a past which I don't want my character to have because I want him to be purely relateable.
