“Something In Common” lead “actor” Pinot Allred enjoying the sites of the 2020 Durango International Film Festival (March 2020)
This week, Wine Dog Pictures attended the 15th Annual Durango Independent Film Festival for “Something In Common.” The entire cast also attended for the red carpet and the filmmaker Q&A, including our dog-in-a-wheelchair star of the film, Pinot Allred.
“We are so excited to kick off the year like this,” said director Lori Kay Allred. “Last week, we premiered in Omaha, and now we’re in Durango. I’m so grateful to programming director Cornelius Hurley and his staff for giving us so many screenings throughout the week. Our film is about hope, so I’m glad we can be sharing this story before thousands of people.”

“Something In Common” screened twice during the five-day festival. It also had four additional screenings for school kids during the festival’s REEL Learning School Program, which shows educational and creative family films to more than 1,600 students and teachers in the Ignacio and Durango School Districts.
Allred, Pinot, and actors Sarah Irwin-Powell, Megan Nichols and Leslie Nichols fielded questions from a very enthusiastic audience of school kids. Not surprisingly, Megan (who is in a wheelchair) and Pinot (who is also in a wheelchair) got most of the questions.
