Saela is played by Kalei Fogg. Jachin Like (’23) plays Jasper. Jasper’s brother, Reese, is played by Wyatt Long (’23). Saela’s sister, Danielle, is played by Willa Walburg.

Clay has been both an actor and filmmaker with EU Films since her freshman year. Producing the film is sophomore Titus Smith, and film editing is primarily by senior Evan Espinosa. Films are supervised by executive producer and adviser Dr. Cameron Pace.
“It was our goal in this film to create something that was both entertaining and emotionally
dramatic in tone. There are both joyful and sorrowful moments in this story, “ said Pace.
The “Archived” screenplay was written by MyAun Boyd and Titus Smith from an original story idea from Kaylee Clay and Titus Smith.
