On Thursday, May 9th, 2019, SCAD Film and Television department students taking a distribution and marketing class are hosting a special event local premiere of the Award-Winning Documentary Life in the Doghouse. Additional to the screening the class will have a fundraiser for Danny & Ron’s rescue to further help dogs in need.

The tickets are $12.00
Life in the Doghouse is a documentary following the lives of Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta as they save dogs from shelters and euthanization by adopting as many as 75 dogs at a time on their ranch. Over the course of the last ten years, both men have saved over 10,000 dogs and in 2008 were even awarded the ASPCA Humanitarian Award. 
The movie follows their journey through saving these dogs and documenting their lives both living with them and finding new families for them. The film was directed by Ron Davis, who also directed the award-winning 2016 documentary Harry and Snowman. The AMC will also be allowing dogs outside the premises for an informal meet and greet. The event will coincide with Puppy Mill Action Week (May 5-11), and the class will be raising awareness of the unethical treatment of dogs as well as the high amount of euthanasia not only in our country but also on the state and local levels as well. Students will also be at Forsyth Park on April 19 and 20 raising additional awareness. 
To hold the screening, 46 more tickets must be sold by April 28th, 2019 and can only be exclusively purchased via Gathr once again at https://gathr.us/screening/28829. The class is led by Professor Stephen Stanley, whose distribution company Ketchup Entertainment released over 25 films during his tenure there from 2012-2016. The class is a hands-on practicum analyzing contemporary trends in media distribution.
