DADNAPPED has a star!
And I couldn't be happier about it. Emily Osment, who plays Lilly on Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana" is going to play Melissa, the main character in my movie. She is such the perfect choice for this role of a smart, head-strong teen, who wants to connect with her father.
In DADNAPPED, Melissa has to compete for her father's attention with Tripp Zoome, a fictional teen character who is the "star" of her dad's action/spy books. Once a bunch of teen fans take her father as a goof - it's up to Melissa to find a way to get him back.
I can totally see Emily playing the part and am so glad about her choice to "be" Melissa.
In other news: I've had lots of requests for links to these two animations - so here ya go!

Hi Alan!
Funny as I found your blog because my daughter didn't get to audition for Aubrey, however, we have been following a thread about Dadnapped in a message forum just out of curiosity.
I have to tell you...I am so happy for you, the story about the ladies at the coffee shop and all that is happening to you with the film. FANTASTIC! I want you to know...from a complete stranger...I support you and hope that you succeed.
Pond Scum looks awesome, I am curious of the recommended reading age? My daughter, an avid reader is just 9 but reads on a 6th grade level... what do you think? ANd...she is also a huge HP fan. You sound like a great guy...I wish you the best! Have fun on the shoot once you get rolling. And I will continue to read your blog as a behind the scenes cheerleader!
Best - Nika
Audrey...not Aubrey. Bad typo, bad......
Nika -So glad you've been "following the Dadnapped trail." Stay tuned for more posts about the looooong journey from idea to actual movie this story has taken.
And thanks for the nice comments about my own journey. As for POND SCUM - if your daughter likes funny books that also have great characters and an environmental theme underneath...by all means, it's a book for you!
