Q.  Do you have a most memorable moment from working on Hoot?

A.  There were lots of moments I won’t ever forget, but I loved the day I met the owls. They were very cool and calm. The one I held just looked at me in the eyes for a long time and seemed really relaxed.

Q.  Why should viewers take the time to check out this movie?

A.  It’s a great movie for all ages with a great message “Kids can be heroes too.”
