Starlight Children’s Foundation Fun Center Presentation

Sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive and Northgate Markets on August 1st, 2013

 

Teen actor, Joey Luthman, supports many charities. He tries to help causes for those who are less fortunate. He is known for his roles on Disney's Ant Farm as Teen Zoltan, Disney XD's Kickin' It as Emmitt, Nickelodeon's iCarly "iQuit iCarly" as Dave and Nickelodeon's How To Rock as Craig Kronberg. As a Starlight Children's Foundation Celebrity Friend he likes to participate in Starlight Escapes that help children who have been diagnosed with a chronic or life-threatening disease. The escapes offer family outings such as picnics, canoeing, bowling, games and festivals for the children and their families.

He was recently able to attend a dedication ceremony for a new Starlight Teen Fun Center at Kaiser Permanente Hospital Pediatric Center in Anaheim, Ca. The bright colorful area was equipped with the latest video games and even a juke box with the latest music (for teens). He was joined by fellow Starlight Celebrity Friends: Actor and Musician Austin Anderson, known for his music, Nickelodeon's Victorious and Weiner Dog Nationals and actor Nadji Jeter, known for the Grown Ups Movies as Andre Mckenzie. They were all there to cheer up some of the patients and help with the ribbon cutting at the opening of the new Fun Center.

The Center is for teens facing surgery, chemotherapy and/or fighting loneliness after hospital visiting hours have ended. Starlight Fun Centers offer a break and fun distraction.

Joey Luthman in Burn Brightly at The Directors Guild May 08, 2013.

Joey Luthman is Andy Shaw in the film "Burn Brightly" by director Lauren Ludwig of the AFI Directing Workshop for Women, 2013.                            Burn Brightly is the story of Andy Shaw, a 15-year-old who is allergic to the sun. He was born with   From his second-story room, Andy watches the suburban street outside.  It’s through that window that he falls in love with the 40-year-old woman who jogs by his house each day.  He’s watched her for months.  And today is the day Andy will profess his love, somehow -- even if it means putting himself directly in harm’s way.

The film was shot July 2012 in Los Angeles, California, as part of the AFI Directing Workshop for Women. It was completed April 2013. It is now in the process of submitting to festivals. The AFI DWW is a program that takes 8 women a year and helps them make a short film. The program's goal is to increase the number of women working as film and television directors. Right now, less than 10% of working directors are women. That's crazy! This program aims to fix that.
