Fees :

Casting Requirements :
MAX MOGUL - Male, Age 14/15:
A teen idol / Willy Wonka style character - the big boss of the teen empire that the other characters are seeking to join. Max is the slickest kid on the block. He’s a bit of a Justin Bieber tech whizz. He’s a teen billionaire who made his money from inventing cool tech gadgets, but he equally wouldn’t look out of place on stage in a boy band.
He’s charismatic, charming, but also quite sneaky and not trustworthy. Although he smiles a lot, he can be quite devious. He knows exactly how to get what he wants from people.
GRACE - Female, Age 14:
Grace is the ultimate girl next door - she’s the everyday ordinary girl that the audience will connect with. She ends up attending this summer camp kind of by mistake (all the other teens are chosen because of their superior skills in certain areas, but Grace was selected because she shares the same name as someone else. She is a little insecure but grows in confidence as the show develops. She sees the fun in things and wants to be friends with others, she is less competitive than the other teens. She suspects Max is devious early on, but she knows it will take a lot of investigating to expose him. She’s likeable and very much the audience’s window into this world. Friendly, fun, adventurous and curious. She’s very smart and Leo is intimidated by her.
MARCUS - Male, Age 13/14:
Marcus is cool, calm and collected. He attended the teen mini mogul camp last summer and was chosen as a winner. The other team members are jealous that he must have the inside track with Marcus, but there’s more to Marcus that meets the eye. He starts out a bit selfish and stand offish / not very friendly, but then he falls for Grace and romance starts to blossom. His hard shell starts to soften. He’s quick talking, quick thinking but doesn’t trust people easily. He’s a bit hard to get to know at first.
UNA - Female, Age 13:
Una is extremely shy but highly intelligent. Her parents have sent her to this camp because they want her to make friends, but Una would rather be anywhere else but here. She plays a lot of video games and all her friends are virtual. She can be bossed around far too easily and never speaks her mind. But in the end she learns how to stand up for herself. She’s a little mouse mostly though.
LEO - Male, Age 14:
Leo will stab anyone in the back to get what he want. He’s super loud, super brash and thinks he knows it all. He comes from quite a wealthy background and assumes he will always get his own way. He learns over the course of the show that sometimes it’s okay to fail if you did your best. He also learns to relax a bit. He’s Grace’s biggest rival.
SARAH - Female, Age 13:
Sarah is a bit of a messer. She has a very short attention span. She wants to be famous and she thought it would be fun to attend this camp but she isn’t really too bothered about the investigation or what might really be happening behind the scenes. She’s a bit flaky and switches between different friends a lot, but ultimately she learns to not always take centre stage and to be a bit more loyal.
