We are pleased that Anchor Bay Entertainment will be releasing our film to the public on DVD all over North America! No release date is currently set, however, it will be posted here when Anchor Bay sets the date…

We have some long awaited news coming…

‘Dog Days of Summer’ has been selected to screen in the feature competition section of the Sabaoth International Film Festival in Milan, Italy this November. Mark Freiburger will be in attendance for the audience Q&A sessions at the festival.

‘Dog Days of Summer’ director Mark Freiburger has been hired to co-write the screenplay adaptation of “The Trial”, based on the best selling novel by Robert Whitlow. The film will go into production in early 2009 and will be directed by Gary Wheeler. In June of 2008, 20th Century Fox released “The List” starring Malcolm McDowell, Hilarie Burton & Will Patton, which was also directed by Wheeler and based on the Robert Whitlow novel of the same name.

‘Dog Days of Summer’ has officially been approved by the Dove Foundation for Ages 12+. The DVD will include the special Dove Seal of Approval for families. We are honored to carry the seal on our Film.

We recently inked deals to air Dog Days of Summer on Canadian television and Latin American television. Now we are in the process of creating the necessary elements needed for subtitles and insurance for those countries. No news on an American DVD release date yet as we continue to move through the theatrical phase, however, we will work it out through our distributor so the DVD will be available for purchase through this site as well.
