Your Character
You have loved reading The Secret of Ninradell ever since you were a child in Iowa, and after your 'near death' experience in Hawaii, you decide to undertake a meaningful project to get the book made into a movie. When you return to Los Angeles, Chazz tells you that it will be harder than you first thought because the author has turned down others who have tried to obtain the rights. At the end of Chapter 2, she calls you because she has heard through the grapevine that you are interested in her book. In Chapter 3, you get to meet her in person and convince her of your vision for the adaptation. You can improve your relationship with her and it is noted that having a high relationship with her will unlock a bonus scene and a special item later in the book.
In Chapter 4, after choosing Teja Desai as your director, the three of you conduct auditions for the role of William. When Seth auditions, he blows the three of you away and you tell him that he won the part. In Chapter 7, when Chadley auditions for the role of Ragnar, you can improve your relationship with Marianne by casting him.
