‘First Dog’ unleashed today
– The feature film “First Dog” opens at CineLux Theater in Morgan Hill today. The film was shot in Morgan Hill and Gilroy. About 50 Sobrato High School students apprenticed in a mentorship program, holding positions in assistant make-up, props, lighting, sound, set design, and helped construct a scale replica of the Oval Office which was built on the Sobrato Theatre stage. The story is about a boy who discovers a lost dog, who turns out to belong to the President of the United States, but no one believes him. So begins the young boy’s American adventure across the vast country to return the canine to its rightful owner at the White House.
