DAVID’S DAD
(SUPPORTING) David’s Dad is the “cool dad”. He was a bit of a slacker in his youth and turned out alright so he figures a more lax approach is the way he wants to raise his kids. He’s a firm believer that his children need to live through their childhood as unobstructed as possible in order to become balanced, empathetic adults. David’s Dad values empathy over everything and believes that the world is transforming into a polarized place where people don’t seem to care about each other. That’s not how he wants his son to grow up.
DAVID’S MOM
(SUPPORTING) David’s Mom has similar values to his father about how to raise her children, part of what makes them such a great match. She moved around a lot as a kid as her own father kept changing jobs in different parts of the country. As a result, she experienced many different homes and many different friends throughout her childhood. She can tell that David still hasn’t figured himself out yet but she’s not worried knowing this stuff takes time. In fact, she was the one who pushed him to go to sleepover camp in the first place! She tries not to be seen by David, but she keeps a close eye on his progress growing up and just wants him to find his place in the world and find happiness,
DAVID’S HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS:
(SUPPORTING) All of David’s high school friends know that this is the final summer for a long while. They’re all going to different schools in different cities and likely won’t be able to hang out like this again for at least 4 years, and who knows who they’ll be in their 20s? They all met each other through various moments of high school. Whenever possible they all try to work together on group projects and are basically inseparable. This final summer is bittersweet since it represents goodbye but also taking on the next chapter in each of their lives. All they know for sure is that until August ends, they’ll do anything they can to spend as many days as possible together.
