Justin Zimmerman, Director of the Film, “SMART: Specialized Mobile Animal Rescue Team.”
“We fell in love with their drive and passion, and what they’re doing so visual, we thought there was something cool there.”
In this fascinating interview, Justin talks about his award-winning documentary that follows the exploits of the Los Angeles-based SMART team, which rescues animals in Southern California from all kinds of dire situations. He and his film crew followed the team for three years, watching as they saved cats and kittens, mountain lions, horses... even a deer trapped in a clothesline in Pee Wee Herman’s backyard! Justin was inspired by the passion and dedication of this group, composed of animal control officers, who felt a heightened personal responsibility for rescuing animals in danger. Justin also describes how he is making the film available for non-profits to screen as part of a fundraiser. Don’t miss this amazing conversation!
