Some very exciting news has been happening around the Andersen house but Dave has been forbidding me from telling people. I did however, sneak and told his dad, brother, and sisters anyway. Now I just can not keep it a secret any longer and it is going on our blog.
In September Dave saw an open call audition for a indie short film, and thought he would give it a try. He went to the audition, his first ever audition outside of the high school and middle school plays he was in, and landed a part! It is a small supporting role. It is a very important role though, because his character sets the whole tone of the movie. His characters name is Evil. So that was very exciting to land a role on the first try out. It was going to wrap filming the weekend before Thanksgiving. Then be shown on the Festival Circuit (Sundance, Cannes etc.) for about a year. It is also being submitted as a pilot to possibly be made into a full length feature. It will likely get recast if that happens but its still cool!
He has also filmed two commercials for the "Spot On Competition". This is a competition that UT does. The commercials are intended to show UT as a filmable, and desirable location. The winning commercials are shown on the Travel Channel, another channel I dont remember, and are selected to air at different Film Festivals. So keep your fingers crossed.
Two days ago Dave gets a call from the director, the movie is being put on hold it will now wrap filming in either December of January, because they just got green lighted for St. Georges first ever sitcom and it has to be done in December. They have The Echo and other running programs here but not a sitcom. So we are a little bummed except that they want Dave to be in the sitcom!!!! They will be shooting four episodes that will appear on Dtv, if the show does well it will get picked up for a whole season. If it has high ratings it might be shown an KSL, airing on all of Utah
The First ad for the new show!
