cer. He has a story credit, and is the co-writer of the screenplay, along with director Kurt Hale. The sole producer is David Hunter.
Also, not unexpectedly, the release date was pushed back, but not by much, to January 2002. Hey, this means it doesn't have to compete head-to-head with "Brigham City" and "The Other Side of Heaven" for the "Best Picture" Academy Award (or, more realistically, the "Best Film" AML Award).]

Because my family and former neighbors are in Orem (the base of operations for the "Singles Ward" production), and because they knew me as "David Hunter" while I lived there, some people reading newspaper articles about this upcoming film might think that I am producing the film. I am not. I have nothing to do with it other than being a fan who looks forward to seeing it. Because I found the name "David Hunter" so annoyingly common, I have been going by my other name, "Preston," since around 1989. (But does my family in Orem change what they call me? No, of course not.)
Note to "Singles Ward" producer David Hunter: Do yourself a favor, at least use a middle initial.
Julie Stoffer is back in Provo, and she's headed for the big screen.
The former BYU student, widely known for her role on MTV's "The Real World," is making a cameo appearance in "Singles Ward," a comedy about dating and single life in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The film's producer, David Hunter, said they chose Stoffer because "she was a person who stuck out in Mormons' minds."
"I think people will be interested because it's her first time back in Utah, and she got kicked out of BYU and we just thought, you know, it'll be interesting to have her on board, see what she does," Hunter said.
Stoffer plays a temptress in the film, trying to seduce the film's leading single man.
Since "The Real World," Stoffer has been living in Huntington Beach, Calif. She said she doesn't think she's a celebrity but does get the occasional "there goes the Mormon Chick."
"I tried not to make my religion a real critical part of the show. But how could it not be? I'm Mormon, it's a big part of my life," she said.
Stoffer said she has no awkward feelings about being back in Utah. "I love being here. I was on camera when all the controversy was going on. I found out about being kicked out of school from a reporter," she said.
Still, Stoffer said she has no regrets.
"I would do it all over again, ten fold. I had such a fun experience. I don't love the way the show was edited, but I have no control over that," she said.
However, some BYU students said they think it's in poor taste for Stoffer to receive more acclaim.
"I don't really see there being a need to reward her. I think she behaved very poorly. I'm absolutely embarrassed," said senior Sarah Stratford from Trumbull, Conn., majoring in recreational youth management.
For now, Stoffer said she's focusing on her film work, and her fellow cast and crew-mates are supportive of her. cThe Singles Ward (2002) Www Beautiesdating N Porno En Ojr People Robert 201007 1864 Beauties Datingk e Dating p Affair Movie eThe Singles Ward (2002) Www Beautiesdating N Porno En Ojr People Robert 201007 1864 Beauties Datingn Boob o o Dating Beauties
