He had originally auditioned for Edwin, but was instead called back to be cast for the role of Flake. A critic commented, "Darbo laying the main characterand Barth both prove exceptionally receptive to the filmmakers’ sometimes surprising guidance by exhibiting contrasting responses. Barth excels at concentrating the frustration that an uncaring family and educational system foist upon Flake into sudden bursts of uncontained rage." Barth himself described the experience, stating in an interview, "They yelled 'Cut,' and then I walked out of the gym just to take a breather. I handed over my gun—which wasn't a prop gun, it was a real gun it just wasn't loaded—to the ammunition handlers, and I just walked outside for a second. It was way more intense, that felt way more real than I expected. Pointing that thing at an actual human and pretending to shoot them… it's something that shouldn't physically be done."
