SAM GOT A PART!!!!

HELLO SAMTASTIC FANS

Just a little update. I know it has been awhile. Things have been crazy around here. Sam has been going on a lot of auditions this month. The feedback from Casting Directors has been amazing. Everyone who sees him loves him and says he is very professional, but he usually ends up being the wrong look and another actor gets picked for the role because of connections. We found out from one casting director he had the role in the Swedish health care commercial up until the very last day. On that day they changed the adults and the runner up for the role looked more like those adults. Sam did a better job, but the other kid fit the look better. On another movie, he was larger than the kids who would be playing the siblings so they went with a smaller boy even though the casting director gave him top marks on his feedback. And, on a third role the casting director said that Sam did awesome. Sam was his pick for the role but the film director decided to give his friend's son a chance at the part. We are finding out that sometimes it is not your fault...you do your best and in the end they go with a kid who is not the best because he has a better look or is the son of friend. It is all about who you know.

So, this month as also been exciting in other areas. Sam took his Belt test for Tae Kwon Do and passed to Purple Belt. He also took first place in his Poomsae tournament and won a trophy. His master was very happy with his strength and knowledge. Complimented him a lot on his form. It was very fun.

And, finally, tonight I got the call from a Casting Director Sam auditioned for a few weeks ago and Sam got the part in her movie called Strangers. It is for a student at the American Film Institute of LA. I believe it is her theisis project and will be submitted to film festivals in the area. I can't tell you much about it becasue of confidiniality reasons, but when we get a copy, I will try to send it to anyone who expresses an interest.

Anyway...this is the first step on a road to bigger and better projects. With all this positive feedback, it is only a matter of time before you can say....I know that kid. LOL

HUGS ALL!!!!
