Hey guys,
Just wanted to briefly tell you about my recent experience working with Sean Penn in his new movie “Into the Wild”. He’s directing this one and I was honored to play the part of young Walt McCandless. Meeting Sean was such a cool experience. He is so cool and confident and has such a strong vision of what he’s looking for. At one point he asked me to take off my socks for a shot and Mary in wardrobe thought that I had forgotten to wear socks. It was a trip. The movie is about young Christopher McCandless who has everything going for him when he gives all his possesions to charity to travel to the Alaskan Wilderness. I played his father Walt when he was young. The older Walt is played by William Hurt. Look for it on the big screen on September 21st. It was so exciting!
Love and life,
Matt
