Animal Control Synopsis

'Animal Control' is an outrageously funny, over-the-top mock reality show that pulls the veil off of reality television and shows exactly how these pieces of crap get made! Down and out Hollywood producer Allen Davies owes a lot of people money. After the unsuccessful attempts of his last few projects, let's just say finding work has been pretty slow. That is, until foreign investors hire Allen to produce a new reality show for American television.

Director’s Statement

“Having worked in reality television for the past six years, I have been looking for the opportunity to show the world what really goes on behind the scenes of reality television. When this project came my way we thought this would make a funny web series but after the first day of production, we knew we had so much more. “Animal Control” is the collaborative effort of funny people finding even funnier people to help make a hilarious project. The entire project was shot on a single camera with a skeleton crew, but what experience has taught me is that it does not matter how many people you have on set, but who you have on set.”

Producer’s Statement

“Animal Control” is the brain-child of two people who love comedy! When we came up with this show the Director and I found a topic we both had an interest in, which was “animals” and a genre we liked “comedy” and the rest is history! During production, we laughed out loud, each and every day and knew we had a hit on our hands! The funny stories and fantastic actors we chose, helped take “Animal Control” over the top and we hope to bring even more funny and crazy stories to the screen! I hope everyone enjoys our take on comedy and look for more projects from Tunnel Cat Productions in the very near future!

Brian Shackelford

Brian Shackelford – Creator, Director, Cinematographer, Co-Writer

Brian’s love for film is only matched by his love for baseball. Brian graduated from Loyola Marymount University Film School, where he also was a member of the baseball program. While in his first year of film school, Brian began working as a production assistant on numerous music videos, shorts, and independent features. Brian’s first student film was featured in screenings held for up and coming African American filmmakers. Following the screening, Brian was introduced to a local rap artist that hired Brian to direct his first music video. Before graduating, Brian worked as a production assistant on the music video, “Street Fighter,”(the movie soundtrack) featuring Ahmad, Ras Kass, and Saafir. Director Francis Lawrence invited Brian to shadow him during the shoot, taking Brian’s film education to a new level. Upon graduating, Brian continued to work as a production assistant, working in every department gaining an in depth understanding of each department and their relationship with one another.

Brian worked as a lead camera operator and editor for all of the city of Torrance sports coverage and high school programming. He went on to work in the mailroom at New Line Cinema and was approached by a young writer, Ryan Weisman who had seen some of Brian’s student films and music video work. Ryan went on to hire Brian to direct, shoot, and edit his first independent feature, “The Bad News Ballers.” Brian went on to write, direct, shoot, and edit his second feature film, “Gettin’ Da Munchies.” Upon pitching the film idea at a local film festival, Brian was contacted by Doug Schwab from Maverick Entertainment and in 2006 Maverick Entertainment released “Gettin’ Da Munchies,” and “The Bad News Ballers” to video stores across the globe. Marcello Thedford later hired Brian to produce, direct, and edit his third feature, “Watch What You Prey For.” In 2008 Brian wrote, produced, and co-directed his first animation project “Porn Editor,” a hilarious look back on the years Brian spent working as an editor for adult film companies. “Porn Editor” was selected as one of five short films selected to screen in the 2008 American Black Film Festival. Porn Editor was later optioned by HBO for a two-year term. Following his animation project, Brian took a step back towards his love for music after being contacted by close friend Mellow Man Ace, and produced, directed and edited the documentary film “The Latin Rap Conference.”

The film screened to a sold out audience at the 2009 Hollywood Black Film Festival and won honorable mention from the Southern California Film Festival. In 2009 The Hollywood Black Film Festival also screened Brian Shackelford’s first dramatic short film “Ungrateful.” “Ungrateful” went on to gain attention for Brian as not only a director and writer of comedy, but as a director that can deliver a performance as well.
