Brian Quintero - Man
Samantha Liana - Woman
Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario with a Jamaican background, Samantha Cole has been modeling for three years, though her real passion has always been acting.
For a while, she felt she "wasn't good enough" to pursue acting, but up until as recently as July 2012, she decided to test the waters.
Her acting career began with an acting agency located in Toronto. She participated in two acting workshops (E Fulcher) and then ventured into another workshop called Pool of Talent. Besides several high school plays in addition to a play at Ryerson University, she has never had live experience with any films or auditions.
Once she completed the Pool of Talent workshop with the Torontonian director, she submitted herself to dozens of castings using online casting websites. Eventually, she received a call and was asked to audition for a film called Reality Check; her first audition since her training in the acting classes.
Since then, Samantha is set to play a 14-year old girl in search for her father in the short film Searching for Sasquatch as well as playing a teen on a road trip with her mother and sister in the Nuit Blanche-type film festival film Small Meteorites. She will also be starring in the Canadian version of the popular American television documentary series I Survived Evil on the Oprah Network. She is currently filming her first feature film Fragile as well as several commercials.
When Samantha isn't performing, she is busy with refining her craft with various acting coaches and workshops.

PRODUCTION NOTES / TRIVIA
In October 2013, writer/director Alfredo Salvatore Arcilesi was approached by a friend with a chance to make a cameo appearance as a gangster in a feature film. Though he did not have any acting experience, Alfredo submitted his director's head shot and directorography to the feature film's director. The director responded, complimenting Alfredo's work, however, further communication ceased. Thinking nothing of it, days had passed when Alfredo received a call from friend and actor, Brian Quintero, star of Reality Check. Brian was excited to share that he had just been cast as a gangster in a feature film. Alfredo surprised Brian by guessing the director's name. As it turns out, the feature film director had watched Reality Check after Alfredo sent him his directorography and had been so impressed with Brian's performance that he decided to cast Brian instead of Alfredo. Brian has since quipped, "I never thought that I would be up against you for a role, Alfredo."
