David Henrie exclusively opened up about getting to work with Mel Gibson on his new family horror movie 'Monster Summer'

In addition to feeling excitement, Henrie was also “very nervous” about “directing an Oscar-winning director.” He told Us: “I was instantly put at ease once we met, and I realized that Mel is a team player who genuinely loves his craft. “So, my past experiences as a child actor really allowed me to be able to get great performances out of my young cast because I knew how to put them at ease and to communicate with them in a way that they understood and felt comfortable with.” Nickel City PicturesHe continued: “What I love about the spooky/adventure genre for families is it’s such a powerful way to explore human nature at such a critical moment in a young person’s life, summer, where everything changes.”
