David Hewlett Interview Transcript - June 28th - DigitalProductionBuzz

Underneath the cut you'll find a transcript of an interview done live with David Hewlett at http://www.digitalproductionbuzz.com/LiveThisWeek/, aired live on June 28, 2007 at 6:32 p.m. Pacific Time.

 

 

Note from their site: A Dog’s Breakfast was written and directed by David Hewlett from a story by Jane Loughman & David Hewlett. The film was produced by Jane Loughman and John Lenic.

 

The majority of A Dog's Breakfast was filmed on a fourteen-day schedule and with extremely limited funds in January 2006 when Stargate Atlantis (the TV show David Hewlett stars in) was on hiatus between seasons. Some scenes were already filmed on Saturdays during the Atlantis season.

 

Originally, David Hewlett planned to shoot at his own house, but legal problems due to its US location forced the production to rent a house in Canada.

 

In addition to several Stargate producers and crew members, this film also stars and co-stars several actors of Stargate fame, who were all on hiatus from the Stargate franchise. A Dog's Breakfast used Stargate sets and equipment as well (see the Stargate crossovers section). Hewlett mentioned he wrote the script especially around those availabilities. This had made it possible to produce the film with a budget of less than $1 million.
