ABOUT THE FILM: 

Wild About Harry, directed by Gwen Wynne, is set in 1973 on Cape Cod and was inspired by true events.  Wild About Harry tells the story of the havoc wreaked in a teenage girl's life when she discovers her widowed father is gay. Alternately comic and tragic, the film captures the homophobia of the time set against a backdrop of small town America on Cape Cod. Starring Danielle Savre, Josh Peck, Adam Pascal, and Tate Donovan. This family dramedy is inspired by the director's and her sister’s life growing up in Dennis, MA with two gay Dads.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

"A Golden Retriever & His Two Dads: An Adventure on Cape Cod" by Dan Perdios

A Golden Retriever & His Two Dads shows that when a Golden Retriever plays matchmaker, anything is possible! A Golden Retriever named Willy "introduces" two guys who become his Dads. Together they take off to Cape Cod to make a film (Wild About Harry). The drama of the movie mirrors the story of their lives. Part travelogue, part romance, part Hollywood, this is a thoroughly entertaining dog adventure you won't want to miss.
