SCREENWRITER Dan Berendsen has written 11 moviesfor Disney Channel, but he still sounds a little awedwhen he considers the scope of the Disney Channel Ori-ginal Movie franchise over the past 20 years.

“I can’t believe they’ve done 100 of them,” says Be-rendsen, who grew up in Huntington Beach and worked in insu-rance before following his dream to Hollywood.

Actor Max Gecowets, who lives in Newport Beach, co-stars inthat 100th movie – “Adventures in Babysitting,” a remake of the1987 film of the same name – and though it’s his first Disney Chan-nel movie, the 16-year-old sure wouldn’t mind if it’s not his last.

“Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course I would want to do another,” Gecowetssays. “Oh my gosh, that would be just awesome.”

One hundred is a nice round number, and so with “Adventuresin Babysitting” ready to go – and a few more in development, in-cluding “High School Musical 4,” which will be Berendsen’s 12thcredit for Disney Channel – we wanted to look back at the historyof the popular film series, what it’s created and how it works.

INSIDE

Summer music festivals are popular places

to catch the hottest live acts, have some fun

in the sun, hang out with old friends and

make new ones, eat some amazing but prob-

ably terrible for you food, and grab an ice

cold local craft brew.

Whether you’re up for a day at the beach

where you can put your toes in the sand and

enjoy country music, or you want to check

out the local scenery and mellow rock and

pop artists in a cozy downtown area, or

you’re all in for a blistering hot day on some

asphalt to catch the latest in hip-hop and

dance music – there’s pretty much a festival

for every taste of music.

Take a look through a list of 15 happening

in Southern California this summer.
