The Story
"FREE to a Good Home" is a
gritty, realistic, film written, directed and produced by Judy Crozier. It
reveals the journey of Tala Loreto (Katherine Norland), a naïve Wyoming
tomboy lured into the emotional world of rescuing stray dogs.
Inspirational and informative, this film champions a young woman who finds
herself through challenging the system, one life at a
time.
The Film
Footage of "FREE to a Good Home" has
been seen throughout Asia, and has also been used by the Doris Day Animal
League to pass legislation. When completed, it will be used to raise
awareness and funding for rescuers in LA, and throughout the
country.
The Tragedies during the Making of the
Film
While making the film, Director Judy Crozier lost her home
and five pets in a fire. The tragedy occurred while she was out filming,
but miraculously, one pet, a cat named 'Shane' and the film survived.
Crozier had to resume filming within a couple of weeks as her
home was one of the movie's main locations. This determined director,
instead of using the insurance refund to replace destroyed personal and
household items, purchased editing equipment. After a painstaking year of
reviewing and creating edit logs for the footage, which included her
deceased pets, she began editing.
Just as the film was taking
shape Judy's beloved teacher and mentor, Paul Zindel, passed away. A few
months later, cast member Jenna Edwards, suffered physical and emotional
trauma from being struck in the Santa Monica Market Crash in July, 2003.
Crozier has had to continually halt both production and now post
production to raise funds to continue editing.
