Recently, I screened the film for some family and friends at Panavision. Here are some pictures from the event! (photos by Kathy Hutchins)
L to R: Danica McKellar, co-star Jay Michael Ferguson, Ricki G. Maslar (producer/casting director), and our good friend Reggie Lee. (actor from "The Fast and the Furious")
L to R: Crystal McKellar (my sister), Christopher McKellar (my dad), Danica McKellar, and Mahaila McKellar (my mom)
Jay Michael Ferguson not only starred in "speechless…" with me, but he also composed the music for the film!
You might remember my sister Crystal from The Wonder Years. She played Becky Slater!
Fred Savage brought me flowers! He's a truly precious friend and supporter.
This is my good friend, Mike Verta. His company, Arc Haven Studios, designed the brilliant 9-second animated logo for my production company, Morning Starlight Productions. Mike is also a feature film musical score composer. A very talented guy!
More friends! Here I am with Jason Marsden and Jenna Van Oy.
It was a wonderful night, everyone was so pleased with how the film turned out! Some of my friends were even inspired to try filmmaking themselves. I'll tell you, filmmaking is awfully addictive- and contagious!
