Mount Boucherie Grade 12 student Judah Hinter loves to cook and aspires to be a chef, but for now he鈥檚 landed an acting gig.

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

鈥淚鈥檓 in school to become a chef, and decided I鈥檓 going to take an easy course this semester, Foods and Nutrition. I鈥檓 sitting there with my friends and the principal pulled me out of class,鈥� recalled Hinter. 鈥淚 was thinking 鈥榳hat is it this time, what am I in trouble for?鈥� He walked me outside and the (director and recruiting members said) you鈥檇 be perfect for this part. I鈥檓 like 鈥榮ure, why not.鈥欌��

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.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a throwback that I would wear those, you know?鈥� he said, noting that he plans to follow his passion of cooking, but wouldn鈥檛 mind being in another film.

鈥淚 think my passion is being a chef, I love cooking, I love seeing people try the food, so that鈥檚 probably what I鈥檓 going to pursue,鈥� he said. 鈥淚鈥檝e been told I鈥檓 OK at acting. I鈥檝e never been on set, I鈥檝e never had any drama classes, nothing.鈥�

Anthem is filming in 91大黄鸭 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.

鈥淲atch out for the body,鈥� said a crew member, as cast and crew stepped casually around it.

Production coordinator Lori Welbourne said 91大黄鸭 has been helpful to Sepia Films in the past.

鈥�91大黄鸭鈥檚 actually really good with helping us with this sort of thing, with blocking off a road and you can鈥檛 always get that in bigger cities,鈥� she said, adding it鈥檚 more cost effective to block off areas in a smaller city.

The 91大黄鸭 community rallied to donate old 鈥�90s equipment for the film, as well as adding local extras to the cast. It鈥檚 hard work being an extra, filming a mosh pit scene tired a few, but they鈥檙e happy to be involved on their spring break.

鈥淚鈥檝e always wanted to live in not the futuristic decade and live back when there were less electronics so it鈥檚 kind of cool replaying it,鈥� 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鈥檚 theatrical release.
