Dustin’s latest film has been re-titled “Bring the Night“. Dustin plays Nick Nader, a socialite who is kidnapped and held ransom. Filming for “Bring the Night” wrapped in Ontario, Canada in late July 2010.
“Bring the Night” is directed by Aaron Woodley and also stars Laura Vandervoort and John Bregar as others who are kidnapped. You can see photos of Dustin with Laura and John here.
Dustin thanks everyone for their 25th birthday wishes today!

Dustin presented the fourth annual “Enough Talk, Hurry Up And Do It Already Arts Scholarship” today at Ecole Sir John Franklin High School in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, Dustin’s old high school. Dustin established the scholarship four years ago to promote and celebrate students from the school who are pursuing studies in the fine arts (dramatic arts, film, writing).
This year, with the amazing support of the Yellowknife Community Foundation who administers the scholarship, Dustin was able to award TWO $1000 scholarships. Congratulations to Hailey McLeod and Jeromy Deleff!
Below is a shaky-hand (sorry!) video of the scholarships being presented.

“Bring the Night” is written by William Morrissey and will be directed by Aaron Woodley. Below is the plot summary from the film’s official website.
Paul Dynan is a decent, intelligent 24-year-old man. But he is also one of the new generation of young people who have played by the rules, working hard and graduated college – only to find that the certainties of the past are gone. With out a job or future, he plans the perfect crime to redress the balance. He will extort a fortune from three wealthy men, all great friends, who typify the ruling class that made their millions when the going was good – he will abduct their perfect Ivy League children.
Over the course of one long, dark night, Dynan holds these ‘debutantes’ hostage – with little idea of the secret antagonisms that are bubbling poisonously to the surface between their fathers when they are forced to choose between their blood and their money.
He is aided by two nihilistic youths whom he has drawn into his cunning web with the lure of destruction and infamy – so nihilistic that they are unaware of just how perfect Dynan’s crime actually is- for when the night is through they alone will be seen as the perpetrators.
It will be a night in which nothing is quite as it seems, that none of the participants will ever forget, that will change every one of them – and in which Dynan, the puppet-master, will literally get away with murder, unknown to his victims or the authorities – but pay a far greater price. One he had never anticipated…
