A DOG’S WAY HOME interview with writers W. Bruce Cameron & Cathryn Michon (and Shelby the dog!)

A DOG’S WAY HOME hits theaters this weekend, the second film based on Cameron’s book series, which began with A DOG’S PURPOSE, and will soon be followed by A DOG’S JOURNEY in May. The second in this series is incredibly heartwarming and sweet, a nice sort of throwback to the family films of the 1980s, and complimented well by a strong leading performance by Shelby (a rescue dog who is incredibly convincing in the movie). Cameron also wrote the screenplay with his wife Cathryn Michon, and they’ve found a nice rhythm in penning these movies together, effectively adapting Bruce’s novels in a way that’s accessible for moviegoers. I had a chance to sit down with Bruce and Cathryn to discuss their approach to the film, and we were even joined by Shelby during the interview. You can check it out below, and look for the movie in theaters now. Bit thanks to Eddie Lee Henderson of http://blackgingermedia.com who shot this for me, and my pal Grady May of http://gradymayproductions.com for editing it.
