“Levi, our oldest, he’s getting to a little bit of acting. Well, I shouldn’t say a little bit,” Camila tells PEOPLE. “He’s always done things like worked behind the camera or worked on sets or in the song department when we’re traveling for Matthew’s work,” she says.
But now he’s going to be in front of the camera.
“He got a part on one of the movies that Matthew did called The Lost Bus, and then from that he got auditions to go try out for this other movie, and he did everything. He earned it himself,” she says proudly.

Matthew continued, “I cannot tell them what the show’s really about, it’s not age-appropriate. So I have to go into a parable for them… I had to become a better storyteller to tell my kids about a good guy, a bad guy and a monster.”
The 16-year-old son spoke with PEOPLE at the premiere of Matthew’s new film, The Rivals of Amziah King, at SXSW Film Festival in Austin.
While at the premiere, Levi did his first red carpet interview, chatting about his upcoming acting debut in the coming-of-age film Way of the Warrior Kid. When asked if his dad gave him any advice for acting in his first film, the teenager shared that there were a few things his famous father said.
“I mean, he gave me a lot of advice, and he was able to mentor me in a couple different ways,” Levi explained. “But I’d say the main thing for acting, and pardon my French, is no b——- in your bones and own what you’re doing and make a choice regardless if that ends up being the right one or the wrong one — commit to it and know what you’re saying.”
