Eleven year old actor Christian Traeumer of Los Angeles may not be 6 feet tall yet, but this young talented actor has a tall litany of credits already stacked up in his young career.

My good friend Uwe Haase, Talent Agent from proXauf – DIE AGENTURU, from Berlin, Germany introduced me to Christian and his wonderful mother only last week.  I was so impressed with young Christian’s accomplishments and his magnetic personality that I just had to share his story with the world!

You could say that Christian was born to be an actor. He began preparing for his speaking roles by starting to speak at just 9 months and reading by the young age of 3.

By 17 months Christian was already on stage at a Hawaiian Tropic baby pageant where he won the title and was soon approached by Generations Model and Talent in San Francisco. Christians modeling career began right then and there, he auditioned and landed his first modeling job in a Mervyns store flyer. Macys, Tom Tailor, Phonak, Small World Toys and many more.

At the age of 29 months Christian participated in a Hollywood Star competition where he went as John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.

Lifted 2010 – Featuring Uriah Shelton

Lifted01

 It’s been awhile since any film has made an impact on me like August Rush or Pay it Forward.  While “Lifted” should not be compared to these two films, it is a unique film that was both touching and aroused the same emotional feelings and response as the other two films.

Bullied

Henry Matthews (Uriah Shelton) is a young, slim built, bullied boy, who is just trying to survive middle school.  He was bullied in part due to his mother, who was a recovering drug addict, and the fact that Henry was a misfit in his class among his peers.  At the same time Henry was an extremely talented boy who was not only charming and good looking but had a musical skill that stood out above the rest.  A chip off the block of his Father, played by (Dash Mihok), who portrayed a Marine reservist and struggling auto mechanic, trying to make ends meet and help his wife with her recovery efforts.

Opening Scene

This film captured my heart immediately in its opening scene.  Uriah was singing with his Father at the table in an impromptu cover of “Sunshine” which was done extremely well as an opener, showcasing not only Uriah’s beautiful unbroken voice but showing the closeness of the family unit.
