Bubble Trubble
a feature film by children, for children
Alejandra (Secretary Grammar) 11 years old.
Hello, my name is Alejandra and my family comes from Colombia and we
speak Spanish at home. I have dyslexia and diabetes which is very stressful
but I don't let these things get me down. I love to play soccer. My family
is very musical and I play the clarinet and violin. I like to draw and I
make great doodle drawings (sometimes during math class). In the movie,
I play Secretary Grammar (she is very correct!).
I watch a lot of movies and sometimes dream of becoming a big movie star.
Well, my dream is coming true. I’m getting to see myself on screen, in full character.
My friends will see me, too, including all the cute boys in the audience…I think
I will enjoy being famous like the boy that plays Harry Potter.
Ariel (Edwina) 13 year Old.
I love the colors black and white. Dogs are my favorite animals.
And, I love cheese!!!! I am oblivious to my future career. I started
acting in Multi-Arts camp, playing the role of Janitor in Piece of Pie,
Evil Moon in The Three Moons, and B Sharp in The Note Who Lost in the Master Piece.
Bubble Trubble is about a lost alien boy who is trying to find his way
home and meets lots of people and gets into a lot of trouble along the way!!!!!!
Acting in Bubble Trubble is one of the greatest experiences I've ever had.
I am so happy I have the chance to be part of such an amazing thing!!!
Imagine: how many average-Joe people who go to summer camp get to be in a real movie!
I think people should see this film because it is funny and I think they will enjoy it.
It will be a Walt Disney classic, so look out for BUBBLE TRUBBLE THE MOVIE.
Darius T. (Agent Snazzle) 13 years old.
I will be in High School next year. Other than acting, I enjoy playing basketball,
football, and snowboarding. I also play the piano and the violin. I have been in numerous
school plays, as well as in summer camp productions. I was also part of the original cast
in the play, Bubble Trubble. I have done some acting on camera at summer camps, but this
feature film is my real screen debut.
Bubble Trubble is the story of many diverse
characters who come together to solve the problems of a growing “bubble" problem.
Being a part of this feature film is a great experience for me, seeing what really goes
on behind the camera. Also, I love hanging out with the cast!
The whole family should watch this film because it will make everyone laugh.
Gabriella (Wanda Bartel) 12 years old.
I am 12 years old and in sixth grade at Wildwood Elementary in Amherst. I have been dancing for six years and recently appeared in the Amherst Ballet Theatre Company production of The Arctic as a village girl. My acting credits include the role of Brigitta in the Sound of Music, a production of the Arena Civic Theater in Turners Falls, Massachusetts. When I was very young, I was a model and when I was four I was the sole actor in a commercial. Besides acting and dancing I love to play soccer, read, sing, and play piano. Next year, I will be attending a performing arts middle school. I would like to thank Sonia for all the hard work she has put into Bubble Trubble! I urge everyone to see Bubble Trubble: It’s surprising, it’s captivating, it’s hilarious, and it is filled with bubbles to the very brim.
Isabel (Madame President) 11 years old.
I am an 11-year-old girl who started to like acting as a result of Multi-Arts camp in Amherst, MA. This camp is where I met Sonia, the director of Bubble Trubble and joined the Eat Your Broccoli Theater Company that originally performed the play, Bubble Trubble. I have been in a number of different plays now and with each one I have become more interested in acting. Bubble Trubble is a story about the “monstrous” bubbles that are taking over the world, and the people who try to stop them. It is very interesting to be part of this film because I see other people in movies and now I know what it is like to be one of them. I love it! The film is a really clever and funny. You will most definitely enjoy it!
Joshua (Admiral Attaboy) 13 years old.
I have been acting for over eight years. I have appeared in the Hampshire Shakespeare Young Company productions of Much Ado About Nothing, Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Hamlet, and was also cast in the Amherst Leisure Services productions of The Wizard of Oz and Oliver. I love playing guitar and singing, and was co-organizer of the 2006 Building Harmonies benefit concert to support youth-led organizing in New Orleans. Besides acting and playing the guitar, I enjoy street performing, playing baseball (and cheering on the Red Sox), horseback riding, and swimming. I’ve been particularly enjoying the opportunity to play Admiral Attaboy – someone who’s definitely a change from my normal personality. Bubble Trubble is an unusual political satire that characterizes the people in power as “children” and puts a new spin on the political crisis our world has fallen into. It is definitely different from anything I’ve ever done before. I have never been in something quite as demanding as Bubble Trubble, and yet, it has definitely been a blast the whole way long.
Julio (Allen Alien) 14 years old.
I was born August 7, 1992. The first 5 years of my life were spent in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. When I was 6 my family and I moved to the United States. I started acting when I was 10 years old at the Multi-Arts summer camp (that doesn't count the acting required to miss days of school, and getting the presents I wanted), in plays directed by my aunt. I like to spend my time drawing and sleeping. Bubble Trubble tells an awkward story about a boy whose parents forgot about his birthday, and the boy thinks it was ok to make new friends far away from home on the strange planet called Earth. Until now, I haven't actually been in the feature film yet, but the anticipation is killing me; and I like the idea of becoming famous. People should see the film because it has all the favorite film characters; the secret agents, the bad parents; the news reporters that think they know what they're doing; the scary aliens that eat everyone (not really, they're vegetarians); the president and her gang; and the little "monster" who inspired the film.
Lucas (Lucas Alien) 8 years old.
I've been dancing, acting and goofing around in general since I was about 2 years old and
have done ads and commercials since I was 4 (Filenes’s, Marshal's, Timberland, Boston Magazine,
Bj's, Stride Rite, and Hood Milk). So I'm kind of used to being in front of a camera but this
is my first feature film and it's an amazing experience. I get to play a very "cool" alien kid
who accidentally causes a lot of trouble on Earth. I have also been in a few local plays and
improv classes which I love and I'm currently performing as Loku in a Japanese version of Sleeping Beauty.
Some of my favorite activities are dancing, skiing, horseback riding, going to the theater,
movies, the circus, and playing with Legos.
In Bubble Trubble, the costume and make-up take ages
to put on and it's really kind of hot and itchy, but it's really fun to play an alien because I get to
make imaginary things happen and then see them come alive in the film.
Luisa (Dr. Whizbang) 12 years old.
The idea of acting has always interested me. I started doing theater in the Multi-Arts program when I was around eight. After going to Multi-Arts for three or four summers, I was "recruited" (to my delight) for the play Bubble Trubble that was going to be put on during the school year. The following year I was asked if I wanted to be in the movie and I agreed. And here I am now. People should go see the film because it's all kids, acting as adults, and that's a pretty new concept. I've never seen a movie where kids were the adults. Usually, the kids are running away from the adults!
Mac (Agent X) 12 years old.
My name is Mac Tyrrell and I love soccer and I play for the travel soccer team of Amherst.
I’m in the A league which is the best for travel soccer in Massachusetts, well almost the best.
I also love to act. I got introduced to acting in a summer camp called Multi-Arts. In the camp
we had drama class and that was the first play I was in. I have done Multi-Arts twice and those
two times were fun. An event that happened to me on April 5, 2006 was a bad day for me. I got
a concussion playing football at school and that was a day after my friend’s birthday! It
was bad because I couldn’t play soccer for a month and I couldn’t run or even jog for a month.
It was the worst experience I ever had.
Bubble Trubble is a really cool and fun movie and
it is about "something" that made bubbles and that made every one's personality turn into a kid!
It’s crazy. Anyway, the secret agents under the command of Agent X (me) find out what started it
and try to shut it down. The trailer we made was also really cool and fun because I have never
acted in a movie and it’s completely different because I don’t have to memorize all my lines
at once. My character is Agent X; he is the government lead secret agent. He has two agents,
agent Snizzle and agent Snazzle. Agent X is a British person and he thinks he is the best.
Maisy (Aliena Alien) 11 years old.
I'm eleven years old and go to Leverett Elementary School. I enjoy extra-curricular activities such as soccer, softball, basketball, and guitar. I love animals and have two dogs named Eedee and Ginger. When I am 25, I plan to be working as an interior designer or as a collage artist. Being in this feature film is pretty exciting. Personally my favorite part is the make-up session (probably because I’m an alien!). So far it's been super fun, on and off the set.
Marcel (Cal the Producer) 9 years old.
My name is Marcel, I was born in Southampton, NY and lived there until I was eight.
When I was six I started to attend an acting class for film. My teacher’s name was Frank Cento.
We made seven short movies. Ever since then, I loved acting. When I was eight
I moved to Amherst, MA. I continued to act. I acted in a play called Odon, the Giant and took
some improv classes to help me. Last summer I went back to Southampton, and took Frank Cento’s
classes again. In the fall, I came back to Amherst and took more improv classes. Around this time,
I found out about a movie that had an opening for a boy. This movie was called Bubble Trubble.
I got the part, and have had a great time with it. Right now I am also participating in a local
production of Doctor Doolittle.
I think Bubble Trubble is a good children’s film, it’s very funny. I also think it’s interesting
that all the actors are kids. There’s no main character in the movie either. There’s no violence
or inappropriate language either. I love being in this film, I think I’m really lucky to be in
this film at my age. The long hours of acting were hard for me but I loved it.
Noah (Stu Cabbage) 11 years old.
Hi, my name is Noah and I’ve been acting in plays and musicals since I was six. I have always been fascinated by the process of making movies and stage productions. Besides having watched the special features on every movie DVD I’ve seen, I went to a summer camp for kid filmmakers. I also enjoy writing plays. My most recent work is Michael Dog 4, a play that was “published” last December around Christmas. I love building with Lego®, reading, playing on the computer, and wrestling with friends on my trampoline. I live with my parents, two felines, and a gerbil in my home in Amherst, Massachusetts. After learning about how movies are made, it’s really exciting to be part of a feature length film!
Theo (General Nonsense) 13 years Old.
I'm a tennis playing film appreciator/geek. The experience of being part of a feature film: It takes a lot of time and hard work, but it's fun and it pays off. You’ll love this goofy and very entertaining movie.
