“Pickford Presents” Film Series Kicked Off with “A Dog’s Purpose”
Sponsored by the Cathedral City Public Arts Commission, the new film series called, “Pickford Presents” showcased the film, “A Dog’s Purpose” along with a special question and answer session with the book-to-film author W. Bruce Cameron and his fellow screenwriter and wife, Cathryn Michon. The couple also brought along their own dog, Tucker, a rescue from Denver, Colorado.
The full house enjoyed watching the wonderful movie that tells the story of a dog reincarnated over several decades in an attempt to discover its purpose in life. If you have not seen the movie, bring tissues to wipe away your tears – it’s a heartfelt story.
After the movie, “Manny the Movie Guy” hosted a Question and Answer Session with the screenwriters. He also announced that a third party, American Humane, had investigated the rumor on social media that one of the dogs may have been put in a compromising situation during the filming of the movie. American Humane reported that video online had been edited over several tapings to mislead the public about the dog’s safety and that no abuse whatsoever occurred.
The next film for “Pickford Presents” is “La La Land” on Saturday, February 18th at 4:05 p.m. hosted by KESQ’s Bianca Rae. The film series brings Oscar nominated composer Justin Hurwitz for the Question and Answer session.
“La La Land” is a romantic musical comedy that has been nominated for fourteen Academy Awards, tying the records of “Titantic” and “All About Eve.” “La La Land” recently won the most Golden Globe Awards in the ceremony’s history with seven Globes in early January.
