The New Film
As the lead search dog team in the Rockies, having an animated series based on your life isn't easy. When a real search turns deadly, unexplainable events cast doubt on the celebrity dog's abilities. Some of which, are yet unknown. This eerie murder, and a raven, lures the young woman and her wilderness search dog down a dangerous trail. However, the key to unlocking this unnatural crime turns out to be.....the Search Dog's raven.
Set in the near future, this Eerie Action Thriller with a Unique Supernatural Twist, takes place from the full moon of March 27, 2013 to the full moon of April 26th, 2013. Already receiving attention from the Hollywood Reporter and Variety magazine, both the film and the animated spinoff are based on the real life adventures of a young woman and her wilderness search dog Ebbey.

PAUL HUEBERG and YEUB RAFAYL serve as executive producers and ALLEX MICHAEL PICTURES is the coproducer. Based on her novella 'The Deadly Search', the screenplay is by ALLEX MICHAEL, as is the film's original soundtrack. Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
