The Adventures of Finding a Home- Dianna Oelkers

Cast:
Student Cast
Brody- Mr. Rivers
Pip- Jacey Deleu
Mom- Joanna Muino
Johnny- Julie Oelkers

The Adventures of Finding a Home is a touching story of a lonely dog named Brody who was abandoned by his previous owners leaving him on the sidewalks of Central Park. Brody spends all his days spending time at park and over his time he meet his best friend Pip, a funky pidgin who helps Brody and sticks by him through the journey.  Brody was talking to Pip when he explains that he wants something more than just a sad life alone at the park. He always looks over at owners and their dogs having fun at the park and Brody comes to the conclusion that he wants what those dogs have and realizes he needs to work for it if he so he can get what he want. So he asked Pip to help him. The two characters go through a bunch of ups and downs all for one thing in the end, finding the perfect family.

I would recommend this short film to audiences because it really does show the importance of  friendship. The story ties in life lessons from never give up, to trusting yourself all while being light hearted and a little bit silly! It would be a great short film for kids to watch and I feel like they can remember the lessons that are shown through the film as they grow.
