Character Profiles (11/02/08)
 
It's been some time since this section was updated, but now that the film has finished and has been shown in some places, I thought it would be a good idea to post a "character profile" for those who haven't seen the film, or for those who have seen it but want more official information about the characters of Stranger in Peril.

In any case, here is the official character profile for the movie's characters.

 
The Kid
He is the protagonist, a normal kid who suddenly becomes involved with a girl - he saves her from an assailant, and suddenly realizes that she might be in grave danger, and that - apparently - he is the only one who can save her.
Julio
Julio is the kid's best friend. The moment his friend becomes involved with the girl and starts getting threats from an anonymous caller, he decides to help him. He isn't very brave, but nevertheless tries to help.
Ale (short for Alejandra)
Julio is in love with Ale, but he doesn't really know that she might actually know this. She is a brave, confident and smart girl, and immediately decides to help their friends with their predicament.
The Girl
The victim of the assault, the girl might at first sight seem like a pretty innocent young lady, but maybe - just maybe - she is involved in something more dangerous than what the kid initially thought.
The Traitor
This is a most mysterious character - she seems to want to help the Kid and Julio, but why? How does she know so much about the girl's captors? What is her relationship with them? She seems to be a victim, even more so than the girl.
The Nerd
Little is known about the nerd, except that he might be involved with those behind the threatening phone calls and the assault against the girl. This is a cold, creepy fellow - the kind of guy you wouldn't want to encounter in a dark alley.
Sandra
Sandra is a friend of Ale's, and doesn't have a clue about what is happening to her the Kid, Julio and her friend.
The Assailant
A menacing, cold guy, the assailant seems to be the perfect henchman - big and obedient.

Character Info (04/16/08)

Well, I've been so busy with writing the actual screenplay that I hadn't been able to post many updates. Anyway, I'm back, and with lots of information for you. Let's first start with some of the characters, and the role they play in the movie:

Kid - The film's protagonist. He's noble but flawed, and becomes involved with a girl that asks for his help.
Julio - The Kid's best friend. He's not the bravest guy ever, but nevertheless tries to help his friend whenever he can. He fancies Ale, but doesn't dare telling her about his feelings.
Ale - Friend of both the Kid and Julio. She's intelligent and pragmatic, and becomes involved in the whole mess after the "bad guys" make a threat to Julio against Ale's life.
Girl - The nameless girl the Kid saves at the beginning of the movie. She asks for his help, giving him a phone number and a card that says that he "knows something 'they' don't", as well as the name "Damian."
Assailant - The big guy the Kid saves the girl from.

Okay, so these aren't all of the characters. Given the fact that it's a short, we don't have that many characters, but there are a couple more I'll be revealing in the next few updates.
