Mount Boucherie Grade 12 student Judah Hinter loves to cook and aspires to be a chef, but for now he含羞草研究社檚 landed an acting gig.
Hinter says it was a funny story on how he was cast as Chad in the upcoming teen drama Anthem.
含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檓 in school to become a chef, and decided I含羞草研究社檓 going to take an easy course this semester, Foods and Nutrition. I含羞草研究社檓 sitting there with my friends and the principal pulled me out of class,含羞草研究社� recalled Hinter. 含羞草研究社淚 was thinking 含羞草研究社榳hat is it this time, what am I in trouble for?含羞草研究社� He walked me outside and the (director and recruiting members said) you含羞草研究社檇 be perfect for this part. I含羞草研究社檓 like 含羞草研究社榮ure, why not.含羞草研究社櫤卟菅芯可鐫
Hinter looks the part for the film set in the 1990s as he usually wears a leather jacket, a Blue Jays hat and kept his shoes for the role.
含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 a throwback that I would wear those, you know?含羞草研究社� he said, noting that he plans to follow his passion of cooking, but wouldn含羞草研究社檛 mind being in another film.
含羞草研究社淚 think my passion is being a chef, I love cooking, I love seeing people try the food, so that含羞草研究社檚 probably what I含羞草研究社檓 going to pursue,含羞草研究社� he said. 含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檝e been told I含羞草研究社檓 OK at acting. I含羞草研究社檝e never been on set, I含羞草研究社檝e never had any drama classes, nothing.含羞草研究社�
Anthem is filming in Kelowna this month, continuing until April 15 as part of an 18-day shoot. The film stars Cameron Monaghan, Peyton List and Danny Woodburn
Monaghan plays Luke Hunter, a small-town teenager who splits his time with the druggie and popular crowd. One day, Hunter has a premonition one of his friends will be hit by a vehicle and killed. The event came true on Asher Street on Friday in Rutland.
The Capital News caught up with the production crew as they filmed the death scene.
It was a busy day for the normally less-than busy road which was blocked off with a scene containing a fake ambulance, police car, and body.
含羞草研究社淲atch out for the body,含羞草研究社� said a crew member, as cast and crew stepped casually around it.
Production coordinator Lori Welbourne said Kelowna has been helpful to Sepia Films in the past.
含羞草研究社淜elowna含羞草研究社檚 actually really good with helping us with this sort of thing, with blocking off a road and you can含羞草研究社檛 always get that in bigger cities,含羞草研究社� she said, adding it含羞草研究社檚 more cost effective to block off areas in a smaller city.
The Kelowna community rallied to donate old 含羞草研究社�90s equipment for the film, as well as adding local extras to the cast. It含羞草研究社檚 hard work being an extra, filming a mosh pit scene tired a few, but they含羞草研究社檙e happy to be involved on their spring break.
含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檝e always wanted to live in not the futuristic decade and live back when there were less electronics so it含羞草研究社檚 kind of cool replaying it,含羞草研究社� said student Lola Rediski from Constable Neil Bruce Middle School.
Sepia Films has not set a release date, but will be doing a festival run prior to the movie含羞草研究社檚 theatrical release.
