He shoot two short films. I believe I updated to say that he got a part in a student film called "The Stranger." That one was shot in Culver City at a convenience store. It was a late night shoot. It started at 9pm and finished at 12:30am. Luckily, Sam is on spring break and he could sleep in the next day. The other 3 kids weren't so lucky. LOL. It was all improv and Sam is a natural at that. I don't think they shot the scene twice the same way. He came up with lots of goofy ways to play it. She loved his personality and quirkiness. I think the other kids were annoyed at him...lol. (Side note - the improv stuff was awesome and one of the other students there loved his natural ability and wants to use Sam on his project. He gave me his card and asked me to submit headshot and resume. So, he may have booked another job.)
Here are some pictures of him on set at "The Stranger"
The other film was another student film called hmmmmmm....I can't remember what it is called. lol. Anyway, it was like a modern day Robin Hood set at a playground with a bully. Rob and Will are best friends who go to the park only to find a bully has taken over and won't let the kids play without paying a tax. Rob takes on the bully and wins back the playground for Mary and all the other kids. Sam played Will. He was a lead in this film and had lots of dialog. Again...some improv. He was wild on this set because of all the kids and being at a playground. I kept apologizing to Allison the director. But, the shots turned out great and they all loved him. (Side note - another producer was there watching this being filmed and gave me his business card. He thinks Sam might fit with a web project he is getting ready to start. So, maybe another job. LOL)
And finally - Sam auditioned for a play with Stepping Stone Players out of Glendale. They are a non-profit organization and don't charge players to be in their shows. WOO HOO!!!! They also provide the costumes. They are doing Cheaper by the Dozen. The 40's version not the newer Steve Martin Version. Sam got the part of Bill. He is one of the 4 lead children. He now has play practice every weekday...Monday thru Friday 6pm - 9:15pm. One of the draw backs of having a lead is that you are in almost every scene and have to show up every night. LOL. But, he loves the director, cast and crew. He comes home happy every day and doesn't whine about going like he did on the last play. Today he even asked me at noon what time he needed to take a shower to be ready for play practice. He was planning a head. He thanked me for forcing him to do the play...which is funny because I asked him if he wanted to do it after the last play mess...he wasn't so happy about being in another play. He said he wanted to and gave his all at the auditions. So, not sure how I forced him...but whatever. lol
