Long time Park City resident Nate Sears entered the Warner Brothers Studios Get Smart YouTube video contest.  The contest rules were that you had to make a 15 second YouTube promotional video for the recently released Get Smart movie based on the 1960’s TV series of the same name.  Nate not only entered he won!

By winning the contest he received an all expense trip to Hollywood for the premier of the movie on Monday, June 16th.  He walked the “red” carpet with the stars and was invited to the after party where he schmoozed with the likes of Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Alan Arkin. 

For Nate’s 15 second promo, which he wrote, directed and starred in, he dressed in a red agent 86 bathrobe.  and used his Don Adam’s voice to talk to the Chief.  His imitation is spot on and even though he entered the contest late he came in first.

To enjoy the promo just click on the link below and see Nate Sears as Maxwell Smart!  Congratulations Nate!
