Posted by Beast575 with 5 Comments
The LXD filmed a special short film a while back that was viewed exclusively to audiences of the “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, Director’s Cut.” After months of waiting, the project has finally reached the internet, thanks to one of its stars, Simrin Player. The short also features the talents of Step Up 3D star Kendra Andrews, Chad “Madd Chadd” Smith, who plays the character of Sp3cimen in the online webseries, and Cameron Boyce, who portrayed a young Dark Doctor in the episode, “Orgins.”
The short was directed by Ryan Landels and Harry Shum Jr. (Elliot Hoo), choreographed by Galen Hooks, and also features JoAnne Yarrow as the voice of the game program.
