‘American Idol’ Winner Caleb Johnson Makes Film Debut in Monster Movie ‘Remember’ [Exclusive Photos]

“American Idol” Season 13 winner Caleb Johnson will make his film debut in the psychological monster movie Remember.

The singer appears in the indie film’s prologue, which was filmed earlier this month in Greenville, South Carolina. Check out our exclusive photos from the shoot below.

Remember tells the story of a group of young people facing off against a monster that can erase its victims from the memories of the other characters, constantly reshaping the survivors’ personalities, relationships, and knowledge of the dangers around them.

“I’ve always been a monster movie kid, so when I heard about this opportunity, of course I said yes,” Johnson said. “Working with the cast and crew was an absolute blast. Really excited for everyone to see the film.”

Jeff Corpening and Betsy Pearl Cardwell co-direct from a script by Corpening and Evan Purcell. Johnson first met Cardwell in a film program when he was 15.

“The thing that set him apart from all the other students was his enthusiasm and excitement about filmmaking,” Cardwell recalls. “His passion was absolutely contagious. I just knew that he’d go far in his field. I wasn’t surprised that he found another creative talent, but I also knew that his love for movies would never die.”

“I was born and raised in Western North Carolina. This whole area holds a special place in my heart,” added Johnson. “It’s incredible to see how much everything has evolved since I was a kid. This area has really shaped who I am, and now that I get to work with local artists and filmmakers, it’s incredible.”

“To say we are happy about working with Caleb would be an understatement,” said Corpening. “The excitement he has for our film, and his love of horror films in general, has proven infectious to our whole team. I can’t wait to show everyone what he can do.

Remember will resume filming in the fall and is currently seeking additional investors and hiring local talent. Visit TheRememberFilm.com for more information.
