Director and Producer Cal Nguyen of the post-apocalypse series Day Zero on Amazon Prime has announced the addition of Utah Derek Boone to the principle cast. <\/div>\n

Salt Lake City, Utah –<\/strong> “Humor is not often something we would expect in a post-apocalypse world,” said Utah actor and filmmaker Cal Nguyen<\/a>, director and producer of the series Day Zero, by Altare Productions and streaming on Amazon Prime. “We portray the realities of the human condition, which includes humor.<\/p>\n

“We have added Derek Boone (Hollow Point, Dead Trigger) to the cast, and his skills as an actor help us to do that very thing in a recently released new episode titled “Thrones and Dominions,” Nguyen added.<\/p>\n

Nguyen is the writer, director, and producer for the award-winning television series Day Zero<\/a>, which is filmed in Utah and streams on Amazon Prime. It is currently in season three, starring Shawn Stevens (Love Everlasting, Days of Our Lives) as Father John.<\/p>\n

Day Zero<\/a> takes place when the Earth has been mostly destroyed as a result of World War IV, which is regarded as “Day Zero.” Radiation and fallout from the global attacks affected most of those who survived, regressing them into a primitive-like state. Pockets of the unaffected are scattered across North America, with some hoping to rebuild while others take advantage of what’s left. The show is a product of the Altare Productions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“With the episode Thrones and Dominions, I was trying to convey simultaneously a sense of sadness with a sense of laughter, using a new lovable character that has an edge to him, a sort of counter-bully who bullies, if you will,” explained Nguyen, adding “and this character is played by Derek Boone, who really has a great sense of timing, and simply pulls off the image perfectly, so I couldn’t be more blessed by his presence on set!”<\/p>\n

“In addition, the supernatural elements continue to expand as well as the idea of hope in a hopeless world,” Nguyen explained.<\/p>\n

Nguyen<\/a> is a U.S. Air Force veteran. He has been a filmmaker since 2011, and an actor since 1999 working in Hollywood. His premiere hit TV series Day Zero has won over 100 film awards to include 6 Telly Awards. The show is currently available on Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n
