Zach doesn't go to a normal school, he doesn't play organized sports anymore because he has to be ready at any moment to go to an audition and he doesn't have an opportunity to play his string bass in an orchestra.
Dana and I are excited because he is going to attend summer camp this year at Camp Abercorn.
It's a really nice camp filled with people mostly older than Zach. He met them last Sunday during the orientation meeting at Lake Arrowhead. The older campers didn't look down on him like he was a little kid. He fit right in with the group.
One other item of note about the camp...It is a series that he is shooting starting in August.
After one audition and one callback in April, Zach got the exciting news that he booked a leading role on the series. We found out on a Friday night. I had just dropped Zach off to meet some friends at the neighborhood church carnival. His management called Dana but she let them know Zach was not with her. They called me and I gave them the same info. I called Zach (using my best "you're in deep trouble" voice) and told him to call the office ASAP. He called and was (happily) surprised to hear the news.
Fast forward three weeks later and we found ourselves 90 miles from Los Angeles shooting promos for the show. It was his first opportunity to meet the entire cast and crew.
The first few hours were spent solo with The Artist filming 5 or 6 scenes for the promos. The pace was fast and furious because it was the last day of shooting in the mountains.
Stepping into frame for a shot.
He's either discussing the motivation for his character or talking about video games.

Whatever you do, don't touch the chocolate!!!!
Here's why you don't touch the chocolate. It's used to make fake #Hollywood poop!
I can't share too many details (yet) about the project. Zach has another day of promo shooting this Sunday somewhere in Los Angeles (Yea!) and then the show begins filming in August.
Summer Camp Swagger
Zach also has one other major project in the works before the summer camp series begins filming. I'll share the details about that when I get the OK from the producers.
