NORTH HOLLYWOOD,CA – Theatrical Arts International Foundation’s motion picture ‘Hercules Houdini Holmes’ premiered at the North Hollywood Cinefest Film Festival as an official selection on Mar 24. 11 -year-old Vyom Mathrani stars as the lead character Alex in the film. Vyom is best known for his sketches on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ the ‘Think it Up Telethon’ as well as the short films ‘Peruchazi,’ ‘Water,’ and ‘Neil.’

Vyom also has been seen in numerous commercials including ‘Faces of LA,’ ‘Walmart,’ ‘Disney Band Aids,’ ‘GoGo Squeeze Apple Sauce Drinks,’ and ‘X-Prize.’ His web series include ‘Bozos,’ ‘Kids with Adult Problems’ and ‘Fred.’
After a one-on-one interview with Vyom, it was obvious that this entertainers’ light shines bright because of his unshakeable belief in himself. When asked if he feels tense in high-stress auditions, Vyom said that he never gets anxious because he feels nothing but joy when performing for others. If you have had the pleasure of catching Vyom making the rounds during community events in the Southern California circuit, you know that his ability to blend Hip-Hop and Bollywood dance styles is vibrant and infectiously energetic. From April through September when school is in its off-season, Vyom’s auditions and resulting gigs are in full swing, averaging two auditions per week. In person, Vyom’s dynamic energy just oozes out of the young performer. When asked serious questions about his inspirations and career aspirations, Vyom flipped a switch and became completely professional in his responses. He informed that Robert Downey Jr. was someone whose footsteps he wants to follow, and he fully intends to pursue acting school to earn a place within bigger movie productions. When asked if he is ever negatively affected by rejection, Vyom coolly and calmly stated that it never bothers him, he just focuses on improving his acting and dancing abilities. The entertainment industry is notorious for grating the will and patience of budding actors. But there is something to be said about how insistent Vyom is that he too should be in the running when a lead role is available. Vyom is not envisioning himself as a background character, he visualizes himself as the central protagonist who captures the emotions of the entire audience.
