Jason Osmond, 19, a graduate of American Fork High School, plays Blake and says he is the baddest of the bad boys in "Turn Around."

"Blake is a bad boy who doesn't care. He parties and gets drunk and is second in command (to Pratt)," Osmond said.

Although he has done a few commercials and modeling gigs, this is Osmond's first feature film. On the side, Jason, son of Jay Osmond of the original Osmond Brothers, has been helping his dad with an Osmond 50th anniversary production, plays in a band called Set in Stone with his brother Eric and cousins Alex and Tyler, and he is preparing to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Sorenson, a graduate of Orem High School, entered the LDS Missionary Training Center two weeks after shooting wrapped up on "Turn Around" and is currently serving in the Prague Czechoslovakia Mission.

Candlelight Media's staff has built a distribution and film production company focusing on family-friendly titles that are meant to entertain and inspire.

Other Candlelight titles include "Beauty and the Beast: A Latter-day Tale," "Everything You Want" and "Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration," currently showing at the Legacy Theater in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. This fall it will release "Emma Smith: My Story."
