Red carpets, a limousine, Hollywood actors and a movie premiere at the Fox Theater. What else could you want in Hollywood’s backyard?

Fans crowded around an autograph table Friday night that was set up for the stars of the local film, “Stamped!” Of course, most of the fans were teenagers eager for autographs from the main actor of the film, Brian Kubach.

Also on hand were actors Matt Thompson, Lindze Letherman, G. Lane Hillman, Kaitlynn Lerma and Bakersfield’s own George the Giant, who was recently featured on “America’s Got Talent.”

Created by Director Bryce Hatch of Frontier High school, “Stamped!” was shot on location in Bakersfield. “As cute as the script is, the actors made the film,” Hatch said about the film.

Kubach can be seen in the teenage-themed movie pulling zany Jim Carey-esque stunts. Fans laughed during the film’s funny moments and after the show were entertained by a question and answer session.

Strangely, while the crowd was still getting autographs and leaving the theater, the Fox Theater staff were already taking down the letters from the marquee.

Hatch is hoping the film will next get picked up by a film distribution company.
