I've known writer/director Eric Hendershot and his wife Dickilyn for quite sometime. Eric has been working on films for many years with writing credits that include Take Down, and The Dream Machine. His directing credits include the Clubhouse Detective series, and Horse Crazy. This year, Mr. Hendershot kicked off the Eclipse Film Festival with the premiere of Clubhouse Detectives: In Search of a Lost Princess, a charming little picture aimed at the kids.

In the mystery/comedy, a group of youngsters known as the Clubhouse Detectives, are propelled into adventure and intrigue, as they try to determine which local kiddy is actually a missing princess. The mini-sleuths set up a series of tests to try and discover the identity of the royal one, who could be one of a number of suspects.

Shot locally in St. George UT, Hendershot knows how to use his resources. In Search of a Lost Princess is a simple film. And given it's target audience, that's more then acceptable. He's rounded up a cast of young charmers whom, above all, really appear to have had a fun time making this movie. The packed audience certainly had a fun time watching it.

I really enjoyed Club House Detectives: In Search of a Lost Princess for what it was. A well intentioned children's film with a high spirited cast and a family friendly story line.

If you missed this one, it should hit video and cable before too long.

I loved this film but you need to add more to it like Ali desides to go to Hofsburg and she arrests Trish, Courtney and Tiffany and makes them beg for forgivness.Then you could tell us that the film has gone 13 years and then you tell us what happens to Trish, Courtney and Tiffany then you could end the film.This film is better than Clubhouse Detectives in Scavenger Hunt because that film bores me so much that I could go to sleep.

Clubhouse detectives was a great little film and for such a modest budget I think it's really a winner, plus my daughter was in it.

The clubhouse detectives in search of a lost Princess was excellente! Me and my two brothers are the biggest fans, we even have our own clubhouse. We love spying, and our lifelong dream is for an adventure to happen to us like it does for them. We have lots of gadgets but definately not as good as Dez's remote control car on the Scavenger hunt, (which is our best film.) We've already recorded S.O.L.P (in search of a lost Princess) and hope to record the others. We love steaking out and stuff, tonight we're even going on a mission! I know it might sound a bit sad, but we love doing it and we might even find a real adventure.

On question, though. Whenever we type in the clubhouse detectives on the internet, it always comes up with the other film called the clubhouse detectives about some boys who try and solve a murder, I've seen it and it's not nearly as good as these three films, so why does it seem to be more famous?

Fom Kate, Jack and Will. The Clubhouse detectives biggest fans!

I'm one of Kate's two brothers who also loves the clubhouse detectives in scavenger hunt. I like the part when Dave goes to the Dragon lady's house, i wish i could meet all of them together and i wish they lived near us. They could help us with our spying and complete it. I really wish i could get the scavenger hunt and big trouble. I really wish they made a few more films because we can't get enough of them. We live in England, and we think it's really unfair that all the cool people live in America! From Jack a Great fan.

I really enjoy that film because it was one big mystery and they didn't know who the princess was and when they went to trish's house to see if she really is the princess they all campuflage themselves. I really liked the bit at the end where brittany was on the stage and she was wearing a dress and when she had finished talking she said 'lets play some ball' and she pulled the dress off and she had different clothes underneth her dress.

I Really love it because it is a mystery film that is alsoa funny flim as well and i really enjoyed watching it
