shovel buddies is a movie starring bella thorne, alex neustaedter, and kian lawley. after the death of their best friend, jimmy enlists childhood friend dan, little brother lump, and crush kate to fulfill his last request .
now, awesomenesstv and film 360 will bring one of 2013’s black list entries to fruition. the teen - focused entertainment company and the production studio have teamed up to produce shovel buddies, which was # 8 on the 2013 black list .
awesomenesstv, which recently announced a film - focused partnership with youtube, has already produced several movies that will bring online stars to the big screen. among other projects, the multi - channel network and digital media studio’s upcoming feature film pipeline includes a coming - of - age story called shovel buddies, which was revealed in march. two months later, shovel buddies now has a principal cast: awesomenesstv announced that kian lawley, bella thorne, and alex neustaedter will portray the film’s three main characters .
a group of friends attempt to successfully complete a list of tasks assigned to them as the
shovel list
by their dead friend .
shovel buddies, written by jason hellerman, follows four teenagers as they attempt to complete the bucket list of a friend who has died of leukemia. “along the way, ” reads a press release, “they learn more about themselves, their own relationships and the true meaning of friendship. ”
film 360 initially approached big frame, the talent management company owned by big frame, with a plan to create a version of shovel buddies based around teenage digital stars. big frame brought the film to brian robbins of awesomenesstv who will produce it alongside film 360. british filmmakers simon atkinson and adam townley will direct .
bella thorne certainly caught our attention when she shared a first - look photo of her new movie character, kate, and now even more pics and details have come out surrounding her new project. the actress is currently filming a new awesomeness tv movie called shovel buddies, with her co - stars kian lawley and alex neustaedter .
si & ad have worked as a directing duo for over a decade, meeting as in - house designers at virgin records. they have enjoyed a prolific career in music videos and commercials, developing their penchant for intricate films which never let the technique get in the way of being touching, charming and filmic. shovel buddies is their debut feature film .
the movie is about four teenagers that set out to accomplish a “shovel list” (like a bucket list) of items set by their dead friend, who died of leukemia .
both thorne and sage have worked with awesomeness films before. thorne, who will star in the weinstein co.' s amityville: the awakening, will be seen in awesomeness' shovel buddies, which premieres on monday, march 14, in austin. sage will be in the upcoming awesomeness project before i fall, based on the ya novel by lauren oliver .
exclusive: shovel buddies, a 2013 black list script by jason mark hellerman, will be produced by awesomenesstv and film 360 for day - and - date theatrical and vod release. the film will be directed by english duo si & ad with a likely cast of social - media stars plucked substantially from the stables of awesomenesstv and its big frame talent - management unit .
awesomeness films president matt kaplan acknowledges that shovel buddies is
a little off - center
from the slate that teen - centric awesomeness established in 2015, which included snervous, a documentary about vlogger tyler oakley, and buddy comedy smosh: the movie. he spoke with the hollywood reporter ahead of the film' s world premiere about how it fits into the awesomeness brand .
no casting decisions have yet been announced, but awesomenesstv is likely to fill shovel buddies with the online media personalities with whom it is partnered. this is the strategy awesomenesstv used for expelled, which became a vod hit shortly after its december 2014 premiere. big frame’s managers are also co - producing bad night, which will serve as a vehicle for stars jenn mcallister and lauren elizabeth .
of the three leads, lawley’s name will be most familiar to readers of this blog. the 19 - year - old vlogger has amassed millions of fans thanks to his membership with the our2ndlife supergroup, his personal channel, and his recent collaborations with fellow vlogger jc caylen. in addition to shovel buddies, he has also landed a starring role in the chosen, a feature - length thriller .
often when a movie doesn’t meet expectations, i find myself thinking, “well, if they had done it this way, maybe it would have worked. ” however, that is not the case with simon atkinson and adam townley ’s feature directorial debut shovel buddies. the movie has a strong cast and some decent camerawork (minus one scene shot through the reflection of a mirror), but it’s still a total disaster thanks to the ludicrous premise .
shovel buddies tells the story of four friends who come together to do right by their friend sammy, who recently died of leukemia. jimmy (neustaedter) finds a letter from sammy asking that he be buried in his favorite football jersey instead of cremated like his parents plan. jimmy enlists his little brother lump (starkman), his other best friend dan (lawley), sammy' s sister kate (thorne) to do honor sammy' s wishes. philip labes and james c. burns also star .
a while ago i skipped the movie

, without knowing what it was about anyway, i noticed this was also a flick with people running around with a death body the entire movie. and…
thus the deal for hellerman’s script, which ended up eighth on the 2013 black list of hollywood’s best unproduced screenplays. the name is a play on the idea of the “bucket list. ” here, a group of four teens whose friend has just died of leukemia strive to do all the items on the friend’s “shovel list” in a single night .
tiene adolescentes, es de adolescentes, esta película es para mi. bueno resultó original y a la vez lo que esperaba. me aburrió que haya tantas cosas confusas. no me gustó que hayan incluido snapchat xd me gustó la idea de la shovel list y tener que hacer una limpieza para que los papas de tu amigo no encuentren nada de lo dirty. el protagonista es dicaprio junior kian < 3333333333 me pareció que el personaje del nene estuvo muy suelto. y la preocupación por los padres y la casa y el auto y todo ese deal? es medio fantástica. . la idea de llevar un cadaver de acá para allá, sea quien fuese en vida. . es medio turbia a mi parecer. sentí que…

casting is underway, and filming is expected to begin by may. the project is the latest full - length being created by dreamworks animation - owned awesomeness and was packaged by big frame. it is being developed and distributed on a fast track similar to last year’s expelled feature, said big frame co - president larry shapiro .
expelled was a high school comedy featuring several performers with a big presence on either youtube or vine. it was released december 12 on vod and a handful of theaters, then four days later was on digital home - entertainment platforms, where it quickly rose to no. 1 on apple’s itunes store. the compressed release pattern took advantage of the social - media marketing push, allowing fans to find the film on whatever distribution platform they most wanted. shapiro said the film made money, though he declined to detail how much .
“we’re evolving this model, ” shapiro said of the approach to the new movie. “when you look at the past couple of success stories, what we’re doing is elevating the story. ”
‘it’s a little stand by me, a little breaking away, ” shapiro said. “they are stories about coming of age that you can relate to at any age. ”
film 360, which represents hellerman, brought the script to shapiro, who got signoff from awesomeness’ top executives brian robbins and shauna phelan, who produced both smosh: the movie and expelled. big frame then packaged the deal .
“it’s an exciting time as stories are being created and told in so many different ways, ” said 360 co - founding partner guymon casady .
film 360 has both a management and production side, and as producers, the company’s dean schnider and former 360 executive ali itri came up with the idea of putting a traditional script with non - traditional talent. 360 approached big frame, which then approached awesomenesstv to find the best partners in the digital space .
shapiro said casting likely will include a number of awesomeness and big frame social - media stars who can both act and bring along their big online audiences .
“we’re in the middle of a generational shift of how kids are receiving their experience of films, ” shapiro said. ‘this is kind of a statement about how movies get made in a digital framework. ”
he declined to specify the film’s budget but said awesomeness would be “spending more than most have on these kinds of things. ”
the directors are simon atkinson and adam townley, known in england collectively as si & ad and for their work producing commercials with a gritty, indie feel. the pair are repped by wme and grandview .
producers will be shapiro, robbins, phelan, itri, schnider and film 360’s ben forkner. hellerman is repped by management 360, verve and carlos goodman of bloom, hergott, diemer, rosenthal, laviolette & feldman, llp. hellerman also found his representation through the blacklist, talking about it on a blog post on that site .

after the death of their best friend, jimmy enlists childhood friend dan, little brother lump, and crush kate to fulfill his last request .
after receiving their dead best friend' s will via snapchat, a group of friends set out to fulfill his last wish .
the film stars alex neustaedter as jimmy. when his best friend sammy dies of leukemia, it falls upon him to fulfill sammy’s last wish, to be buried in his favorite football jersey. sammy is just about to be cremated when jimmy gets the message, but that doesn’t stop him. with some help from his former friend dan (kian lawley), his little brother lump (anton starkman) and sammy’s sister kate (bella thorne), jimmy goes above and beyond to honor his best friend’s request, even if it means breaking the law and risking his life in the process .
there’s something endearing about someone willing to risk everything to fulfill a dead friend’s wish, but the way jimmy goes about it is absolutely ridiculous. the first big eye roll comes when sammy delivers his last will and testament to jimmy via snapchat, an element that’s a bit too “hip” for its own good. then, when sammy’s grief - stricken parents tell jimmy that they would rather not pick up their dead son’s body to put a football jersey on him, jimmy and co. decide that the next best move is to go to the facility, steal the corpse and drive around town collecting the tools they need to bury him themselves .
first off, who in their right mind – teenager or adult – would ever think that is a good idea? if sammy’s parents aren’t up for it, why not just wait for the morgue attendant to return? they most certainly didn’t need to smash a window, break in and steal the body. i also imagine that someone’s parents had to have had some shovels laying around. jimmy did not need to drive his parents’ car through a storefront window so that they could steal two of them. you know what else makes no sense and doesn’t fit in the film? the joyful singalong / dance party they have in the car with sammy bouncing around in the middle. it’s also rather grotesque to glorify cigarette smoking in a movie about a teenager who loses his life to cancer .
screenwriter jason hellerman has the main characters making one nonsensical decision after the next, and each and every one makes the movie increasingly uncomfortable to watch. it isn’t funny seeing jimmy and dan fumble around with a corpse and it also isn’t picturesque to show the four living characters sitting in the car with the body either. and while it may make sense for one of them to give up their pants so that sammy isn’t exposed during their big adventure, we really don’t need to see jimmy running around in his underwear the entire film. they stop for shovels and candy, but they can’t get him a new pair of pants ?
even worse, the movie never makes a good case for why sammy means so much to jimmy. in fact, at one point, new character details emerge that make you question jimmy’s intense loyalty to his late friend. hellerman also tries to cram in a laundry list of peripheral issues that feel forced and never come close to enhancing the main narrative. there’s the fact that jimmy slept with kate despite sammy’s objections, there’s the tension between jimmy and dan, and the problems that arise from jimmy neglecting his little brother. it’s all supposed to tie into the main mission to bury sammy, but hellerman doesn’t come anywhere close to pulling it off and making it all mean something .
atkinson and hellerman clearly had good intentions and the whole cast gives the material their all, but there is just no making this story work. it seems as though the duo was going for something along the lines of stand by me, but the kids in that movie don’t sound like “wise beyond their years” jerks, make reckless decisions or bop around with a dead body for 60 minutes .

i find it so difficult to root for characters in films where the plot is kicked off by something so easily avoided to begin with. when i wasn' t cringing at every unnecessary plot pushing bad decision after another i enjoyed the drama that was not under minded by the well balanced humor. the pacing works against the story sadly but the leads are relatable as they fight each other over the reality of death and loss while reevaluating what seems so important to teenagers before they have to face real life conflicts .
when i was seven, i met my best friends. they were idiots, and i loved them for it. we did everything together. no matter what, we had each other' s backs. nothing could change that, even when this jackass got cancer .

prepare for a night shoot amidst huge flood lights and even bigger mountains of dirt. the flick—produced by awesomeness films and starring bella thorne, kian lawley, alex neustaedter, philip labes, and anton starkman—takes place mostly over the course of a single night .
the tone of this movie has to be in the shadows ,
writer jason hellerman explains .
for these characters, in the darkness of their own lives, it' s weird if it' s sunny out .
the plot, which centers around a group of friends trying to complete the dying wishes of a leukemia patient, sammy, is bound to have its share of serious moments. surprisingly, there' s plenty of humor here too (think the darkly funny kind). when sammy' s friends receive a posthumous snapchat request—to bury him in his football jersey—they wind up accidentally stealing the body. you probably don' t need us to tell you this, but things start getting a little out of control after the unintentional body snatching .
it' s the kind of story that will make you laugh and cry in equal parts, mostly because it feels so true to life. that definitely has a lot to do with jason' s inspiration; his own friend mike was diagnosed with stage iv leukemia, and passed away. to come to terms with his own feelings, jason channeled his energy into rewriting the script until he felt he had fully tapped into his characters' emotions. so if you watch this and notice that the characters are behaving and reacting like actual, non - imaginary people would to a friend' s death, you' re right. as bella puts it, many of the characters give off certain first impressions, but there' s definitely much more complex stuff to be unraveled underneath .
people tend to be glamorized when they pass away, so the film is about realizing who someone is, in both their positive and negative qualities ,
echoes philip, who plays sammy. his positive qualities ?
he made it about trying to enjoy your life while you' re alive .
kate tries to fill a void that she wishes jimmy [ alex ] could fill, but he doesn' t—because he dates her character in the film, then leaves her alone and stranded. and then her brother dies on her, so in order to fill that emptiness and sadness, she fills it with boys. she has no other way .
i see the scared little girl…she' s very bad and tough, but you know there' s little moments that i hope we captured on screen where you see she really is scared and uncomfortable and self - conscious. she just wants someone to love her. if you don' t know that about my character, then you kind of don' t understand her short, rude, abruptness in the film .
jimmy is really the mold for everybody. he brings everyone together in the beginning, and towards the end when it starts to break down, he has to make huge decisions to turn it around. i think what people like most about his character is that he never gives up. he has huge dignity throughout the entire thing, and that' s what makes him special .
he' s very adventurous, and like myself, he doesn' t give up. he' s also athletic, so he' s able to use his body a lot of the time. he' s a very physical guy. throughout the script, he' s carrying sammy, and i think that just shows how much compassion he has and how much he cares about his best friend who' s passed away .
dan is a badass. he gets himself into trouble a lot by saying what' s on his mind; he speak freely. he doesn' t really care about other people' s feelings. but deep down, he does care a lot about his friends. dan' s more direct, he doesn' t beat around the bush. overall, he' s badass though .
my character is very outspoken. he speaks his mind and doesn' t really care about other people' s feelings when he says it. that doesn' t necessarily mean that i do that! but sometimes i say things that probably shouldn' t be said, at the wrong times. i' m one of those people that giggle at a funeral, just randomly. but he still has values and values his friendship with sammy—he' s authentic .
he' s jimmy' s brother, and he' s kind of always there because he just wants to be a part of everything. they don' t necessarily give him approval at first, though, because he' s younger .
it' s funny because kian—dan—he' s actually as old as my brother who' s 19. and alex is 17, the same age as my other brother. so when my mom told kian and alex that, they were like,' oh, so your family is basically dan, jimmy, and lump.' i was like,' yup!'

☕ if you’re feeling the monday struggles, this' ll perk you right up. a new study of half a million people not only confirms that coffee is good for your health, but also that your caffeine fix could make you live longer. after studying people for a decade, researchers concluded that coffee drinkers were 10 to 15% less likely to die than those who abstained. it doesn’t matter what kind of coffee you’re into (decaf counts !) and even better, you can have up to 8 (!) cups a day. so go on and have another. we' ll join you .
college is the best. you get to spend four years surrounded by your friends, living it up and swimming in education. then, in the blink of an eye, it’s over. everyone’s all smiles and laughs for pictures at graduation. it’s a rush of adrenaline making sure you see the gang, before you split up to join the so - called “real world. ”
then, before you know it, all of the hype around getting that diploma has been replaced by one looming question. it’s the same question you’ll get from long - lost aunt polly and grandma’s half - cousin, uncle todd :
like some of you, i just finished college. it was great! i met incredible people who’ve become more like family than friends, and i found mentors who i trust. unfortunately, those people just went from being a 15 - minute walk across campus to thousands of miles away in different directions .
usually, when someone tells their life story, they mention how they felt about college, then what it was like starting their first job. nobody talks about the in - between—what it’s like to go from feeling like your life’s on the up and up to being back at home with your parents, applying to jobs for months on end. meanwhile, that one girl you know from college is already working at her dream job while living in her own apartment .
post - grad is a weird transition period that no one prepares you for—until about a month before it hits you straight in the face. seriously, though! this is like middle school - level angst that i’m starting to feel because it seems as if there are a million questions that have to be answered all at once. this limbo stage exists. people go through it. it’s extraordinarily stressful having no idea what’s happening next in life. more than that, it’s incredibly difficult to avoid comparing yourself to people your age .
on top of the never - ending stream of questions (what’s next? where are you living? do you have a job yet ?), there’s the job hunt. the struggle is real. it’s really stressful. i’m trying to figure out how to pay bills, but also how to function as a sociable human being. getting to the next phase in life is, without a doubt, going to be messy .
first, it’s ok not to have a job right now. it’s ok to still be figuring out what you want to do with the rest of your life .
second, comparing yourself to others will achieve absolutely nothing. everyone moves at a different pace. that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t push yourself and strive for the best. it means that everyone’s limit is different and someone else’s definition of “the best” doesn’t have to be yours .
lastly, no matter what career path you end up choosing, remember that you’ll likely be working for the next 50 + years. if you want to take some time to relax, do it. don’t let anyone make you feel bad for taking time to be a person with no responsibilities for a hot minute .
apparently, there’s a process that we’re supposed to trust. embrace the mess .

ghostbusters is the biggest release of the week and the best first run release. combined with its fully - loaded blu - ray (extended edition), it is a pick of the week contender. there’s not much competition. the main competition is a new collector' s edition blu - ray for the thing, but this is at least a double - dip, which hurts its value. there are a couple of smaller releases as well. in the end it was a literal coin toss to decide the pick of the week and ghostbusters won. more ...

the production company, a division of dreamworks animation - owned awesomenesstv, has started production on horror film you get me from writer ben epstein (happyland). the project is being directed by brent bonacorso, who is behind the opening titles for hbo' s the jinx .
bella thorne and halston sage have signed on to the thriller, which will begin filming in los angeles in april .
you get me centers on tyler, who gets into a fight with his perfect girlfriend, ali (sage), and falls into the arms of sexy out - of - towner grace (thorne). the next morning, ali agrees to take him back but he discovers that grace is a new student at their school and is set on keeping her new man .
you get me joins a growing number of films from awesomeness, including 2015 releases snervous, a documentary about tyler oakley, and smosh: the movie .
bonacorso is represented by uta and underground; epstein is with caa; sage is repped by caa and roar; thorne is repped by wme and thor bradwell at lbi entertainment .
the coming - of - age drama about a group of friends who set out to fulfill their late friend' s final wish represents a new type of project for awesomeness films, the movie division of dreamworks animation - owned atv that was established last year. awesomeness picked up the dark script off the black list, hired commercial directors simon atkinson and adam townley to direct, and cast a mix of traditional and digital talent including youtuber kian lawley, bella thorne (amityville: the awakening) and alex neustaedter (colony) .
this is a project that we bought off of the black list a while back. it' s one that really came together nicely. we' ve got an amazing directing duo named si & ad, who have done pretty elevated commercial work. we were really wanting to take steps in a more adult direction with the movie. i think that it' s really grounded and real, and we were able to attract a really promising cast with bella thorne and kian lawley, one of our bigger influencers, and a wonderful young actor who' s more traditional named alex neustaedter. it was the perfect film to take after the other films that we' ve done. it really represents the direction that we' re headed in. south by particularly is such a fun festival. it premieres films that are usually for this younger audience in a way that we felt like it was the perfect place for it .
while other people may be making influencer - driven movies, we' re about quality. awesomeness is about elevating and supporting our influencers. just like we did this film, we' re trying to get a great piece of writing, great director and work with our influencers to make sure we get the biggest reach possible and in front of as many viewers as possible .
we' re still devising our plan in terms of the rollout strategy. it may be a theatrical thing or it may be a digital thing, but that' s the fun part. distribution at this company is fluid. we choose the path after we' ve screened it and seen the response, as opposed to having a more traditional route. that' s the part of our business that we' re most excited by. we feel like, as content providers, its our responsibility to make great movies and focus on the business aspect later. we' ve been able to have success with that model .
this movie is an r - rated film that is very grounded and real and emotional. we felt like it was a story that we wanted to tell. we wanted to come out with something that was a little off - center for what we had been doing. but moving forward, i still think it' s about making sure that we' re touching that core 13 - to - 25 demo when everyone else in traditional is leaving them behind. the film that we just completed is before i fall. that' s a movie that' s more of a pg - 13, based on a ya best - selling book that' s very grounded. zoey deutch plays the lead in that. it' s really about making sure that we continue to tell stories that elevate the material and the actors that we' re working with .
young adults don' t want filters, ultimately. when you' re in the room of tyler oakley, he' s speaking to the camera and he' s really honest and real. i don' t think it' s about ratings but i do think it' s about not speaking down to your audience and allowing them to feel like this story that they' re being told is something that they can really relate to .
i think that there' s this kind of amazing shift that' s happening now where traditional actors now are interested in figuring out how they can grow their social reach. and then someone like kian who may have come from digital is now learning how to be on - set and figure out how all of that works. that is what the future is. actors and directors want to speak directly to their audience. and it' s a great opportunity for them and us to collaborate and have the support of our enormous channel to help them grow .
