As middle schoolers in Columbus, Ohio, Gunnar Vogel and his friends believed they had found a loophole in their history classes.
“We realized that when we had projects at the end of the year that, like if we made a video and put together lines and stuff, that we would get an ‘A’ no matter what just cuz the teacher knew how long it would take us to put it together,” Vogel said. “So we did that maybe like five or six times in middle school.”
Whatever the motivation for Vogel’s movie-making, his nascent acting career was underway.
