This update is long overdue! I've just added some wonderful reviews of Chandler's performances in "Fringe" and "A Bag Of Hammers". I love reading what people have to say about Chan's amazing acting skills!

"This episode could easily have been a sour note in an otherwise stellar season if the actors cast as young Peter and young Olivia were anything short of perfect. Fortunately, Chandler Canterbury (Peter) and Karley Collins (Olivia) are some of the most talented child actors I’ve seen on TV since Lost. They tackled every heartbreaking scene with the confidence of actors twice their age."

"Chandler Canterbury as Kelsey is excellent. He plays a character that is neglected and verbally and physically abused. While Alan and Ben like to keep to themselves, Kelsey seeks out their company and friendship and eventually breaks down their walls. Canterbury did have a decent amount of lines, but what really struck me was his ability to convey his emotions and feelings when he had no lines. I find it remarkable that kids so young can have an understanding of what their characters are going through. They more than likely have no experience in their own lives to relate to their characters. I am sure Canterbury will have a long acting career in front of him."

Indie dramedy scheduled for August release in U.S.

MPI Media Group has acquired all North American rights to the offbeat indie dramedy "A Bag of Hammers."
Brian Crano makes his directorial debut with the pic, which stars Jason Ritter, Jake Sandvig, Rebecca Hall, Gabriel Macht and Todd Louiso.

MPI is planning a theatrical release in August, to be followed by VOD and DVD.

Ritter and Sandvig play slacker buddies who run a valet-parking scam to steal cars. Their operation is threatened when a stressed-out single mom (Carrie Preston) and her street-smart young son (Chandler Canterbury) move in next door. Hall plays Sandvig's sister who sets off a chain of startling events when she calls child protective services after she notices the boy is being neglected.

"Hammers," a co-production of Manor Film, Two Ships and Locomotive, was produced by Peter Friedlander, Lucy Barzun Donnelly, and Jennifer Barrons.

"We consider ourselves very lucky to have found A Bag of Hammers," said MPI's exec VP Greg Newman, who negotiated the distribution deal along with Josh Braun of Submarine. "Brian Crano and his remarkable cast have crafted a unique film whose mixture of comedy and poignancy will move all who see it."

"I am thrilled to see the film released by MPI Media Group," said Crano, who co-wrote the script with Sandvig. "I hope that A Bag of Hammers will give audiences a good laugh and offer something of a surprise, in both theaters and homes."
