This is a little "preview trailer" for an upcoming video. I am currently collecting more of Scotty Beckett's films on DVD but I thought it would be neat to make a sneak peak clip. I don't know if I will use this particular song ("Distant Memories", composed by James Horner from the 1997 film "Titanic"), but it seem to go well with these chosen clips. The full video will be longer, possibly with two songs. Scotty Beckett was considered one of the cutest and most talented child actors, but he unfortunately became what has been considered not an unusual fate for former child actors and he ended up on an extremely self-destructive path and met an early death. His story is a sad and harsh reminder of what can happen when children are pushed into an adult world and are not protected.
