Begleiter
In 'Begleiter,' Happy, an orphaned dog in search of a new master, finds a kindred spirit in Marion, a lonely woman still pining for the man who left her three months ago. But Marion and Happy's new bond is quickly broken when Marion's ex-boyfriend returns. The betrayal is too much for Happy and he decides to take matters into his own paws. Will he find fulfillment in his new life? First-time filmmaker Dan Margules presents a short film suggested in part by the German film 'Der Himmel uber Berlin.' 'Begleiter' asks, what if the main character in Wim Wenders' 1987 classic were a dog instead of an angel? Shot in 6 days in San Diego, California, 'Begleiter' features a special guest appearance by Ken Osmond from the classic 1950s TV show 'Leave it to Beaver' and an original score by Alphonse Mouzon of the seminal jazz fusion band Weather Report. The film also stars Aleisha Russell, John Henry Litten in his screen debut and a championship Rhodesian Ridgeback named Spencer.
