Pit Proud: The Movie Begins Filming!

I am very happy to let everyone know that filming on the Dog Files’ new documentary, Pit Proud has commenced.

What is Pit Proud? Well, it’s a feature length documentary about why Breed Specific Legislation doesn’t work and that pit bulls are just dogs, like any other breed. It’s based on my short Dog Files video, Pit Proud: The History Of The Pit Bull which you can see here.

Our first filming day was Wednesday, July 25, 2012 in Mahwah, New Jersey where we filmed a group of awesome pit bulls catching frisbees and just having fun.

What’s so special about that? Well, a team of film professionals joined me for the day with their high tech slow motion cinema cameras. The same cameras that are used to film most TV & Films today.

The team volunteered their time and we spent the day filming the frisbee loving pitties in ultra-slow motion. FLYING PIT BULLS!!!! The footage looks spectacular! Thanks so much to Josh Diamond, Timur Civan, Paul Del Vecchio and Art Guglielmo for making this dream come possible!

One of the special pups there was actually a shelter dog named Mary. She has been at the shelter for eight months now. Adopters keep passing her by, which is a shame because she is a sweetheart. Very lovable and fun.

She was a little overwhelmed with the beautiful park we were at and had a bit of a hard time concentrating on frisbees since she probably hasn’t seen a park in her whole life. So instead, we loaded up her chops with a healthy dose of peanut butter and filmed her licking it all off in ultra slow motion.

On Tuesday, we will be going to her shelter in Huntington, Long Island to film her for Pit Proud. We will be following her story over the next year as she gets a foster home and then a real family to call her own. We already found her a foster. See? Right off the bat, Pit Proud is helping the pitties!

Check out the pictures above and below of the all the dogs and families that came out for the day to help us start out Pit Proud filming with a bang! We couldn’t have done it without them! They love pit bulls with all their hearts and I saw just that the whole day we filmed.

We are looking for corporate sponsors for Pit Proud. If you would like to sponsor us and help make this film a reality, please write us at [email protected]. If you would just like to donate, you can do so by clicking on the ‘PLEASE SUPPORT US’ button in the column to the right.

Thanks!
