Off Book #12 – Ben Leonberg and Good Boy

Mine isn’t the only Good Boy released into the world this week. You may have heard of a little film that shares my books name.

 

I joke – Ben Leonberger’s Good Boy is everywhere, and rightly so. It’s a haunted house movie told from the POV of Ben’s dog Indy (playing himself). It’s a magic trick of filmmaking and puppy eyes.

 

Ben came on the show for a generous chat about making the movie. He tells us about the technical hurdles to be jumped, the mammoth 400 day shoot, the portrayal of fear through a dog’s eyes… but mostly we talk about his bond with Indy and why we both believe dogs are the ultimate horror movie heroes.

 

This is a dog-lover’s delight. Happy Friday!

 

Enjoy
