ABOUT THE FILM:
Written, directed, and produced by Deborah Kampmeier and titled “The
Untitled Dakota Fanning Project, aka Hounddog”
by Sundance, this drama is set in the 1960s American South. It is about
a troubled 12-year old girl (Fanning) who finds solace from an abusive
life in the music of Elvis Presley. Presley’s
music is placed strategically throughout the film, creating a mural of
melancholy life that finds its release and healing through singing the
Blues. The film stars Dakota Fanning, Robin Wright-Penn, David Morse,
Afemo Omilami, and Piper Laurie. Executive Producers Scott Franklin and
Henri Kessler are the Company’s CEO and
President.
