Q: Can you tell us about the upcoming DCOM movie Zapped?

A: It’s a very sweet movie and it was done really well. We wanted to kick it up a step and do more, I guess you would call it ‘real acting’. We didn’t want to be super cheesy. We wanted it to be real. The plot sounds weird and it’s a little fantasy, but the way we did it was very real. The plot presents a common situation in an uncommon way. The lead character, her mom remarries. She has to move in with a new family. They are all boys and she doesn’t get along with ay of them. This is something that happens to a lot of kids. A lot of kids have step-brothers and sisters that they have to learn to adjust to. Sometimes it doesn’t work in the beginning and it takes them awhile to adjust. It’s a heightened. elevated plot.
