“Canine Instinct” has won the award for Best Documentary Feature at the 2011 Burbank International Film Festival.  

The screening at the AMC 6 Theater in Burbank, CA was perhaps the best we have had.  The audience was enthusiastic and gave high marks to the film in the Q&A afterward with director Nicholas Goodman.  We want to express our thanks to Festival Director Adrian Iniguez, Ken Mora, Bobby Rydell, and Brandon Scott Kurtz for recognizing the work and hosting a great event.

Very happy to report that Canine Instinct is an Official Selection at this year’s Louisville International Festival of Film, Oct. 6-9 in Louisville, KY.

We just finished the audio mix for HELP ME, PLEASE as we gear up for the festival premiere in September.  Thanks to the stellar work of Eric Marks (EA Games, audio engineer).  The film sounds amazing.

CANINE INSTINCT, my documentary film about dogs, is screening at the 2011 Burbank International Film Festival, Sept. 15-18.   I will post more info soon!

Indie Filmmaker Spotlight: Pedro Brenner

“Pedro Brenner, winner of Best Documentary at the 2010 Burbank International Film Festival, is no ordinary filmmaker…”

We just locked picture on writer-director Pedro Brenner’s latest film, HELP ME PLEASE, a very interesting short film that I am hopeful will get some festival attention.  It is great fun to collaborate with Pedro and composer Jay Vincent.

CANINE INSTINCT has won an award for BEST FEATURE DOCUMENTARY – Honorable Mention at the 9th Annual DIY Film Festival, which recognizes films made following the “Do It Yourself” paradigm – no studio or corporate financing, no big crew, just the ability to tell a good story using tools that are available to everyone.  It is a privilege to be honored.

Here is what they said:

“Wonderful film about a dog whisperer – a young man who knows how to get into the heads of difficult dogs, and the lives of their owners that are changed by his talents.”

Another trailer just completed, in association with Zealot Productions, this one for Joe Cross’ excellent film, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead.  The documentary feature tells the inspirational story of Cross and his odyssey to lose 100 pounds in 60 days, weaning himself off of all medication as he travels across America drinking nothing but green juice!  You can see the trailer HERE.
