January - 1/02/04 GOT MILK? I can't believe they brought that back out. I was eight when I shot that. It is my most favorite
commercial. Though, I do like my Shakin' Bake commercial. May I just say that Winter Break was perfect. I got to have my
friends over a lot. We had a Monopoly day, a Christmas luncheon with BINGO, two days out to the movies and pizza, and a
trip to Big Bear to play in the snow. One of my friends had never seen snow. The day after Christmas we went to Santa
Anita race track. My brother and I were invited to ride in the carriage before the first race. We were right next to the jockeys.
Hunter is the same size as the jockeys. The horses were magnificent. 1/28/04 I just got back from Sundance. What an
experience of a lifetime. All of the cast came except Josh, he had to work. And we missed him very much. It was a working
trip but well worth it. Everyone seemed to love the MEAN CREEK. You have to check out the website www.meancreekmovie.
com . It was great to watch an audience react to the different parts. It was terrific that they laughed in the right places,
gasped in the right places, and actually clapped in the right places. It was overwhelming to see it all come together. I was
so proud of everyone in the movie because they did an exceptional job. I totally love the music by the waterfall. We did
manage time to play. The house the producers leased had a huge hill beside it covered with snow. We built ramps and
did some wild sledding on our off time (day and night). MEAN CREEK has special meaning to me because of the
friendships I made, not only the cast but the producers too.
While we were at Sundance my brother and dad were traveling up to join us, but on the way they were in a major car
accident and became hospitalized in Southern Utah. The producers of Mean Creek dropped everything and drove my
mother and I seven hours to the hospital. (My brother and dad have recovered, and they are doing well) We will never forget
what they did for our family. Rick, Hagai, and Susan are amazing people.
February - My grandma Jean came out from Indiana for a month. We went to the Grand Canyon and San Francisco. I am
very busy developing a teen reality show with a writer friend of mine. We hope to start pitching it in March. If it works out, I
will post the great news. I have been reading hordes of scripts because you know it is pilot season. I haven't found one fit
for me yet (most characters are at least 3 years older than me), but tomorrow is another day and another script. I have never
been part of the pilot season. It's a crazy wild time in Hollywood. I didn't see it but everyone at school says that I was on
VH1/ or MTV Sunday night with Hailey Duff. It was showing our Sundance experience. Also some Sundance pictures are
up under Scrap Book II page 6. WooooHOOOO! Paramount bought MEAN CREEK last night. I am so wildly thrilled for the
producers and director/writer. MEEK CREEK is going to theaters. Now we wait to hear if we go to Cannes.
March - We are going to Cannes!!!! Oh I hope I see my favorite pirate Johnny. 3/5/04 Okay - My mother and I just finished
mailing the last 400 pieces of fan mail. It is all officially out! So if you don't receive a letter from me in the next two weeks to
a month (depending on the country you live in) then I did not receive it. Ren-Mar doesn't send my mail through. General
Hospital and Port Charles is in the process of stopping. Kid with a Cause sends it weekly or Monthly at their convenience.
This is basically to tell all you fans, that we have responded to every piece of fan mail.
April - My mother and I are heading over to France on May 12th. My movie Mean Creek will premier on Friday night, I am so
excited. I hear we are having a big after-party on the beach. I never thought I would be at a party on the Mediterranean Sea.
We are going to Cannes first, then Nice, and then onto Paris for 5 days. I have been working on my French, so far, I can be
very polite. That is about it. I hope the French like polite Americans. I also know how to get bread, cheese, soup, and
salad. I will survive. - Hey if your interested in Whitewater rafting come join us over Mother's Day Weekend! Kids With a
Cause is having their 3rd annual Camping and whitewater rafting trip.
May - Wow! What a great trip to France. I have learned one fabulous thing from the French - KICK BACK AND ENJOY LIFE.
The French Rivera was very beautiful and busy. Busy only because it was the Cannes Film Festival, and I was promoting
Mean Creek. We did days of photos shoots, interviews, premiers, and press conferences. Don't get me wrong, it was not
all work. Producer Susan Johnson and I loved running down the beach at midnight and checking out the hot guys
everywhere. We had some of the most tantalizing dinners in Cannes. The atmosphere is none I have ever experienced.
People just love being with other people. Life rotates around meals. Then we headed to Paris. Okay, I did not want to
leave Paris. Paris is so full of life and history. It is the town of privileged and culture. In 5 days, this is what we did; Louvre
(three times) it is huge, Orsay, Notre Dame (twice) once for mass and once to visit the bell tower, Musee Auguste Rodin -
the thinker, Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Musee de l'Armee, Versailles Chateau, Batobus tour up and down the Seine
River, and a 14 hour bus tour out to Mont Saint Michel - 14th century castle and over to Normandy. Plus we did a whole lot
of shopping, and I ate ice cream three times a day. Hey, I was on vacation. It was a trip I will never forget.
June - LA Films Fest - Mean Creek screens June 21st @ 7:00. I am heading out to Yosemite for two weeks of relaxation!
Then I will start a Documentary piece the end of June or Beginning of July. What a great time. I will put up the Paris ones
soon. Big NEWS! Mean Creek will premiere on August 9th here in LA!!!!!!!!
July - I will be traveling to New York for Mean Creek’s premiere on August 12th. I have never been to New York, so I am very
excited. Then over to Chicago for press and the Chicago screening on the 16th. The Mean Creek trailer is out It is
Awesome!!! Go to www.meancreekmovie.com and check it out. Mean Creek won the Humanitas for Sundance. I am
heading out to go to Stunt School for the day. Please note that they pushed our spot back because ET needed to run the
story of Sam Donaldson's Ranch?? ( I think that is his name)...Sorry. The exclusive Mean Creek trailer premiere will appear
on TV on Entertainment Tonight Friday night, July 16, 2004. Watch it with some friends! Happy 4th to all. If you get a
chance go visit Yosemite, because the sights are breathe-taking and the bears are cool to watch. I am back at developing
my kid’s reality show and working on a Documentary.
August – August has been a whizz-Bang! Mean Creek is getting a tremendous Buzz. The audiences really enjoy the
movie. I just got home from a two week tour with Mean Creek. New York was wonderful and busy. It reminds me of Paris
because of its charm and history. I can't wait to go back to NY and stay longer. I want to check out Central Park. Our hotel
overlooked Central Park and every morning we could here the horses clomping around the park, but we never found the
time to go into this massive greenery. - It felt soothing to be back in Chicago. Some of my childhood memories of Chicago
have faded, so it is nice for my mom to refresh my mind with the sites and buildings. I did get to dip down into Indiana for 2
days and see family and ride horses with my auntie Kim.
September - News Flash! I start working on Cold Case next Wednesday. I am doing an episode called Sleepover. It is an
amazing script. I can't believe summer is gone and school has started. I think I am the only kid excited about going back to
school. My friends think I am crazy. I just find school very exciting. On the Hollywood side.... I have my hands on 3 scripts
that I would really like to do this year. My fingers are crossed.
October - I am working this week for Abercrombie and Fitch. I haven't done print work since I was five, so I am extremely
excited. Plus, it is A&F who wouldn't be excited. Cold Case will air November 7th or 14th. It is the seventh show of the
season. Studio 22 & 27 has to be the happiest crew I have ever worked with as of to date. Emilio Estevez was the director,
and he did a very nice job. I am quite proud of this piece of work.
November - (This year the Spirit Awards Nominating Committee chose to give a Special Distinction Award to the ensemble
cast of MEAN CREEK. In the words of the Nominating Committee, "These young actors turned in performances so
uniformly unselfish, and so intricately in tune with one another, that it became impossible to single any one of them out
from their extraordinary achievement together. Their work is of such high quality that it moves beyond craft to achieve that
mysterious truth and beauty that constitutes the finest acting." )
I found out after school today that I will be playing Harrison Ford's daughter in his next film The Wrong Element. ONE LAST
CHANCE TO SEE MEAN CREEK on the big screen before it comes out on DVD. Sunday November 21 at New Beverly
Cinema - 7165 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles. Show times are 3:50 and 7:30 Watch Cold Case Nov. 7th on CBS. I did a
segment on Soap Talk just this past Saturday. We had a really good time. They let me jump on a couch. I am not allowed
to do that so it was sooooooo much fun. GO VOTE!
December - I spent the month of December hanging with family and friends. We took in about 20 movies over the
holidays! A girlfriend came out from Indiana for a week. We did it all from surfing one day to playing in the snow the next
day. We had a blast at Knott's riding all the roller-coasters with a few of my classmates. Our free time was spent shopping
at the malls.
