Steve competed at the L.A. 2003 IMTA Convention where he caught the eye of Al Onorato, the same manager who started Elijah Wood and Katie Holmes' careers.

Initiation of Sarah!

Mika Boorem's newest MGM telefilm The Initiation of Sarah is on location filming now in Shreveport, LA! Mika plays the title role of Sarah! Wait till you read the spooky storyline too...it's a fresh new twist remake of a 1978 cult classic.

From the MGM website: "The Initiation of Sarah has been reimagined in a bold new way. Both smart and scary, this new film explores the bonds of sisterhood and asks just how far can they be pulled before they break. Set against the sexy backdrop of college sorority life, "Sarah" discovers just how far some girls will really go to be popular. The story focuses on Sarah, a beautiful, rebellious young woman who has been plagued with unexplained powers for most of her life, and her seemingly more normal sister Lindsey. Together they set off for college hoping to leave their troubled pasts behind, but when they plunge head first into sorority life, they quickly realize they are actually being pulled into a centuries old battle between good and evil. Even if they survive Hell Week, it's unlikely that either girl will ever be the same. "

You may remember Mika from her films Blue Crush, Augusta, Gone and Sleepover, which starred two other IMTA alums, Kallie Flynn Childress and Sean Faris!
