Mount Boucherie Grade 12 student Judah Hinter loves to cook and aspires to be a chef, but for now hesa国际传媒檚 landed an acting gig.

Hinter says it was a funny story on how he was cast as Chad in the upcoming teen drama Anthem.

sa国际传媒淚sa国际传媒檓 in school to become a chef, and decided Isa国际传媒檓 going to take an easy course this semester, Foods and Nutrition. Isa国际传媒檓 sitting there with my friends and the principal pulled me out of class,sa国际传媒� recalled Hinter. sa国际传媒淚 was thinking sa国际传媒榳hat is it this time, what am I in trouble for?sa国际传媒� He walked me outside and the (director and recruiting members said) yousa国际传媒檇 be perfect for this part. Isa国际传媒檓 like sa国际传媒榮ure, why not.sa国际传媒檚a国际传媒�

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.

sa国际传媒淚tsa国际传媒檚 a throwback that I would wear those, you know?sa国际传媒� he said, noting that he plans to follow his passion of cooking, but wouldnsa国际传媒檛 mind being in another film.

sa国际传媒淚 think my passion is being a chef, I love cooking, I love seeing people try the food, so thatsa国际传媒檚 probably what Isa国际传媒檓 going to pursue,sa国际传媒� he said. sa国际传媒淚sa国际传媒檝e been told Isa国际传媒檓 OK at acting. Isa国际传媒檝e never been on set, Isa国际传媒檝e never had any drama classes, nothing.sa国际传媒�

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.

sa国际传媒淲atch out for the body,sa国际传媒� 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.

sa国际传媒淜elownasa国际传媒檚 actually really good with helping us with this sort of thing, with blocking off a road and you cansa国际传媒檛 always get that in bigger cities,sa国际传媒� she said, adding itsa国际传媒檚 more cost effective to block off areas in a smaller city.

The Kelowna community rallied to donate old sa国际传媒�90s equipment for the film, as well as adding local extras to the cast. Itsa国际传媒檚 hard work being an extra, filming a mosh pit scene tired a few, but theysa国际传媒檙e happy to be involved on their spring break.

sa国际传媒淚sa国际传媒檝e always wanted to live in not the futuristic decade and live back when there were less electronics so itsa国际传媒檚 kind of cool replaying it,sa国际传媒� 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 moviesa国际传媒檚 theatrical release.
