The Action On Film International Film Festival which will run July 24-31, is proud to announce that they will showcase the new film VICKtory To the Underdog, the story of the rescue of the animals which were used by ex-pro football player Michael Vick for sport. The dogs were also the reason for the ultimate fall of the one time star and his incarceration.

Tattoo Artist and Animal Rights Activist Brandon Bond put his name, money and talents to good use when he created a method to save the animals and towards raising money to help stop more the dogs from being destroyed. He documented his efforts in the documentary which raises some very important questions about our society, values and the direction we are heading.
“This is a tragic story with a happy ending,” said Del Weston, AOF Festival Creator, it isn’t often you can raise money to save animals and show a great film at the same time. We are proud to do it.”

The film which stars well known actors Danny Trejo, Donelle Longe, Michael Berryman and tattoo artist and legend Pixie and many other stars and activists. The documentary will screen on Wednesday July 30, 2009 6pm at the Laemmle Theater Playhouse 7 and will be immediately followed by a private party at the Bar Celona Restaurant and Bar in Pasadena. The proceeds from the screening and after party will go directly to benefit two worthy charities including Villalobes Animal Rescue Center and the Linda Blair World Heart Foundation.

AOF Marketing director Krystal Rose said, ‘Not only are we proud to have this film premiere with AOF but people will be able to come out to the event and meet their favorite stars, help an amazing cause, see a fantastic film and possibly take part of a show on Animal Planet as they will be on hand to document the anticipated event.”
