In Cinease magazine, Ciro Guerra made note of how the process of finding an actor who can successfully communicate the films narrative was considered to be a difficult task. After his attempt in reaching out to a variety of indigenous people, it has come to his attention that the older generation were completely detached from the time depicted within the film. Through watching a film over 10 years ago in a workshop with the Ministry of Culture, Guerra was able to find the perfect actor of Nilbio Torres. Torres's two minute presence in the short film had a great impact on Guerra, encouraging him to pursue appointing him the role of Karamakate as "There was nobody else that could play this guy. He’s one of the last Ocaina people remaining. There’s only about sixteen of them left."

The chemistry between the two explorers was undoubtedly a perfect fit for the film. Richard Evans-Schultes was an admired figure by many, he also had a eerie side to him that Guerra wanted to delve further into. Therefore by pairing him with Brionne Davis, it highlighted the parallels between the two characters. Davis's virtuous presentation is made use of and then subverted as a means of playing with the audiences emotions and trust towards him throughout the film. The cast are as followed:
