Hi Guys,
First of all, I want to thank you guys for the awesome PUMPKIN!!!!!! It was so sweet to come home and see all the messages. You guys rock! Also. I Love to read your responses. I am sorry I can't reply to all of them, but I will try to answer some of the questions.

Hair and Make up Department!
I am sorry I didn't get to see all of you on Halloween. I had a fun but very tiring time. We had to get up to catch a flight at 5:00... am!!!!!! Then we came back here the very next day. On Monday my call time was at 5:30...AM!!!! So I was really really really tired.

We are filming scenes everyday now. It is a lot of work and very long hours. When I am not in front of the camera, I go into the classroom, but if I am there for less than 20 minutes, it does not count towards my 3 hours of school a day. This was happening A LOT on Monday!!! It really stinks when you are doing the work but they don't count it. So now production talks when they break me and if they don't think it will take at least 20 minutes, I get to relax between shots. Sometimes they are wrong as they can only guess. I have about 4 people that handle me directly besides the director and other actors. They are really cool. Helga is the first person I see every day. She brings me to hair and make-up, she calls my transports, and in the morning even brings me breakfast!!!  She is AWESOME (My favorite for sure) I also have a person named Jenn. She is a lot like Helga except she is on set. She makes sure I get breaks and lunch and she tells me where to go to find my mom. Then there is Vibs and Jordan. They stay with me on set and tell me whether or not to go to tutoring or when we are reshooting. I go to them when I have special requests that I don't want to bother the director or Gerry with. All four are awesome!

Yesterday I went to set in my captain america costume! It was fun! Vibs and Helga helped me get a picture with Shelly  in my Cap coat! Shelly is the DP I told you guys about that shot Captain America The First Avenger! I was really excited to have that picture.

Today we shot a very long holiday scene with lots of "relatives" It was weird because they cast twins so that they could have doubles for all the characters. There were so many twins walking around it was freaky!!! It was a really long day. They also reshaped my head today because I was doing a scene where I was really sick. Before they shaved it, they made an avengers "A" in the back! It was pretty awesome.

Tomorrow I get to shoot a really fun scene with Gerry and the girl who plays my sister. It was the scene I auditioned with. I am also gearing  up for the weekend when I will go to a children's hospital with Gerry to meet some kids with Cancer. I am nervous because I feel weird having a bald head and going in to meet kids who didn't have a choice to shave their heads. I don't want them to feel bad.

That's about it from me.... I will hope to have more pictures and fun stories later in the week.
How are you guys doing? Is school fun? How is the weather? I hear it's really hot there! Today it was 21 degrees Celcius (They do the metric system here!! I love it much better using bases of ten!)

Talk soon,

  1. Nice one Max. She let you post it. That is a cool A. It sounds really unfair that if you do ten minutes of work they don't count it. Maybe next time use Pig Latin. Hope to hear from you again soon.

  2. Mr. Max! I love that you talk about twins because I have twins! Mine are boy/girl so there is no seeing double :) You have such a beautiful spirit about you I'm sure the kids you visit in the hospital will be happy to see you!

    Do all of the actors stay at the same hotel while filming?

  4. MAX! I got to see you on Halloween, and the worst part was getting poop instead of the king sized candy like Sarah. I hope I get to see you again soon!

  5. Hi Max! How are you? Who is the little kid watching you play the guitar? Everyone sounds really nice. It's really cool that you got to meet the DP for Captain America. Another thing you could try is Morse Code. It was nice to hear from you. We hope to see you soon.

  10. Hi Max. Sounds like you keep having more and more fun each time. We had 70 degrees weather all week except for today. It is 50 degrees today. School is fun, today we are going to Aw Yeah! Comics today. We can't wait until you come back to school again. Keep on having the best time ever in Toronto.

  13. Hey Max, it's Emmett, I miss you so much! The feel is just gone...
    School is still fun, but it isn't as, fun... We've had some math tests, and I saw that you posted your scientist of the month! (i think...) We did the geography bee, and Sofia M. won, Miles got in second, and Elora in third.
    How's Toronto? It seems cool. Chicago's fine, as you know. We're having a field trip soon. Guess how soon, Today!!! Still, won't be as fun without you!
    Love and cheese,
    From: Emmett

  15. Hi Max! We're doing good. Today we're going on a field trip to a comic store! We are going to learn how to make real comics. Your job seems more fun though. We're lucky that we get to go inside, though, because it's pretty cold! It is cool that you got to go back to Chicago for Halloween. Hope you have a nice day!

  16. Hi Max, we are also having a good time. The weather is still not cold yet. Why can't the people just do the total time of tutoring instead of 20 minutes or over?

  17. Hi Max! Nice pics! You're welcome about the pumpkin. There are so many people on set! Krazy Komix made a new comic, we'll save a copy for you. We had nice weather all week, in the 70s, but now the Indian summer is over. Now it's about 55 degrees. When will you be back?

  18. Max! That A was awesome. I don't think you should be nervous around the kids with cancer. You should try and make them feel happy and maybe while you are there. I'm sure it would make them feel better about themselves. I understand how you feel about the twins. Lots of people who meet me at first get overwhelmed with me and my sister. Looking forward to more stories!
