“Wild Man,” the independently produced comedy, will be shown this weekend at the Nashville Film Festival and it stars George Dalton.
Dalton, 12, a young actor with Chattanooga roots who alternates his time between here and Los Angeles, is making his debut in a leading role with the film. He said in a phone interview that doing the movie was no different than it was acting in other projects such as “Second Chances” or “Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp.”

“I didn’t feel any added pressure. I enjoyed it,” he said.
The movie is about a former high school football star placed on house arrest after a wild night in his hometown. He ends up befriending the awkward kid next door and agrees to coach him in football so the kid can make the middle-school team.
“We kind of grow up together in the movie,” Dalton says.
