The Popovich Movie:
This Chaplin-esque Western Comedy stars world renowned juggler and animal trainer Gregory Popovich and a cast of over 35 pets rescued from animal shelters.
The plot:
Popovich is a 5th generation Circus performer living in a junkyard in Las Vegas with his 2 best friends: Rex and Sebastian, a dog and a cat respectively. Because he loves animals, his junkyard has become a haven for strays in the neighborhood. But when his salty old neighbor reports him to Animal Control, Popovich and his animal friends are forced to raise money through a series of hare-brained schemes to save the animals.
About the filmmakers:
Jerry and Mike are independent filmmakers in Las Vegas, NV. They have made dozens of award winning shorts and music videos. This will be their 2nd feature length film. Their first, Thor at the Bus Stop, played in film festivals all over the world.
