Trivia

*"Ever After" is the only film that Tennant directed that is produced in Super 35 mm film cinematographic format. "It Takes Two" and "Fools Rush In" were produced in spherical cinematographic format. The other films directed by Tennant were produced in anamorphic cinematographic format, but IMDb claims that "Hitch" was filmed in Super 35 mm film format.

*Tennant's first acting role in a motion picture was in 1980 as a high school student, Melio, on an all-night scavenger hunt in a surreal film, "Midnight Madness" which cameo'd cowboy-hatted Pee Wee Herman as a pin ball arcade manager; Andy's first big break in films came when he was cast as a dancer and chorus member in the movies "Grease" and "Grease 2".
