Hi Everyone...
Sorry for taking so long to post a new InterAction. I was waiting to hear if "An American Crime" was going to be accepted to the Sundance Film Festival. It was but I still don't know which day it will premiere. If I'm available, I'm going to try and make it up there this year. I also don't have any new details on "Sasquatch" other than it looks like it will get some kind of theatrical release.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Stephanie Shewell event. It was a great success and I appreciate everyone who made a donation. Thanks Jeremy's Angels!
As usual, I'm trying to catch up with my school work and try and play a round of golf or a basketball game or two in my spare time. Hopefully I'll have more news in the next InterAction.

Hi Everyone,
I've had a busy month trying to catch up with school work, playing some sports and going to a party or two.
But what I really wanted to talk about is the charity event I did for "One Village One World." I made a surprise visit to Detroit Country Day School in Beverly Hills, Michigan last week. I am the celebrity spokesperson for student awareness for "One Village One World" which is a "Community Sponsored" village contributor to Millennium Promise Organization (MP). MP Board of Directors includes Angelina Jolie.
The goal is to bring people together to sponsor villages and help them become self-sufficient within five years. Progress can be viewed via their web-site.
I hope you will visit the web site at: http://www.onevillageoneworld.org/studentscorner.asp and support this amazing charity effort to change history. There is so much poverty and disease in these villages and it doesn't take a lot to saves lives. Madonna has sponsored an MP village in Malawi.
In the photo from the event, I am with Danielle Still, Spokesperson for Student Awareness who invited me to the event and my mother.
Also, there is a petition to support the theatrical release of the "Sasquatch Dumpling Gang." I hope you will all sign it at: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/SDGinTheaters

Hi Everyone:
I've been spending my time playing golf, tennis, bowling and just relaxing.
We're getting ready to screen the short film we shot at the NYIFF. There's more information on the front page of the web site. If you are in Los Angeles, come on by and say hello and stay for the after party!
I'm looking at scripts as usual and there are a few things coming up later this year and early next year that might be fun to work on but we haven't made any final decisions yet.
School starts next week and I'll be home schooling again this year. I'm taking Government, Economics, British Literature and a computer class. Sorry this InterAction is so short but I've just been relaxing and doing charity events.

Hey Everyone:
We finished filming "An American Crime" on July 1. It was a quick shoot and it had a great cast and crew. Ellen Page was perfectly cast as "Sylvia." Catherine Keener was amazing, she even scared people on the set. It's a depressing story but also very intense and powerful. It's hard to believe this actually happened. When you see this movie, you won't like most of the kids in it. It was really interesting to play a character so unlike myself. If this movie makes just one person report child abuse that is going on, then it was all worth it.
I met James Franco at the table read for the movie but didn't have any scenes with him. He was a nice guy. Most of my scenes were with Scout and the other kids. The wrap party was held at Cinespace in Hollywood. There was a lot of music, dancing and Star Wars was shown on the movie screen.
Several weeks ago, "Sasquatch Dumpling Gang" was screened at one of the local high schools for the drama students. I also attended and did a Q&A afterward. It was a lot of fun and there was a good reaction to the movie. I can hardly wait until it is in theaters.
I was the director of photography on a short film that my father wrote, directed and produced called "The Binge." I learned how much work shooting a film was since I did all the lighting. The short turned out really well and we may enter it in some film festivals.
I've been chilling at the pool, surfing when I can and seeing friends. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy your summer!

Hi Everyone,
Thanks again for writing to me! I've been keeping busy doing charity events, working on a short film and working on my script.
On May 1st, I played in the Nack n' Smack Celebrity Golf Tournament at the El Caballero golf course in Tarzana. It was a lot of fun. I met Jose Canseco and he let me practice with his golf clubs. He's a really cool guy.
I also went to the opening of the new Tatsu ride at Magic Mountain in Valencia. They decided to have a bunch of young actors be the first to ride it at a press event a few days before it opened. We rode it twice and then went on most of the other rides in the park. Go check it out.
My father is shooting a short film so I am working as the DP (Director of Photography) on it. We're having a lot of fun and it will take about a week to ten days to finish.
I love driving my car around town and have been playing a lot of basketball with my friends and just chillen out. I went surfing yesterday for the first time in a long time.
My friend went skydiving on his 18th birthday. We all went along to watch. So now I know what I'm going to do on my 18th!
I have decided not to finish my script on Iraq but am concentrating on the action-adventure script which will take about a year to write. That about all for now. We should have some news on a new project soon.

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for all your messages and letters!
I just got a new silver '06 Mustang so I've been driving all over LA. I've also been shooting some short films with my friends Spike and Arman. We are using a Sony HD camera so it's a lot of fun.
I've been looking for a cool film script but there don't seem to be a lot out there right now until pilot season is finished. I looked at a couple of television series but there wasn't really anything I thought was spectacular.
So in addition to playing a lot of basketball, golf and bowling, I've been watching March Madness, hoping that UK does well. I recently saw "V for Vendetta" (pretty good) and "Failure to Launch" (not bad).
Now that "Sasquatch" has been picked up by Sony, they should announce a release date soon and I imagine that I will be doing some promotion for the film. Once I know more details, I'll let you know. Thanks again!

Hi Everyone!
Thanks for all the cards, gifts and messages that you sent me and Jessy for our birthday! We had a few friends over, had dinner and watched the Super Bowl. Since I have cousins in Seattle, half of my family was for the Seahawks and the other half for the Steelers.
I'm looking forward to seeing the "Sasquatch Dumpling Gang" on Wednesday. It will be the first time I will see it. I don't know when it will be released but it should be sometime this year. I'm catching up with school work and reading scripts, looking for something really good. Hope you can make it to the chat on the 11th.
