TROUBLE will be produced by Bethany Constance, Greg Smith and Rick Dirck.

The original concept of TROUBLE was created in 2006 when Kendra Duncan lost her dad, grandmother and best friend, her aunt Sheila Duncan’s Golden Retriever to cancer.

These tragedies made Kendra decide she wanted to help others going through tough times.

One winter night in 2006 Kendra drew a black and white dog and immediately named him TROUBLE. Soon Kendra and Aunt Sheila realized they were onto something powerful, creating a real life TROUBLE and introducing children to his magic, became their mission.

In the years since Kendra and Sheila have watched the reaction children have to TROUBLE. To them, he is alive. They talk to him, sing to him and can’t fall asleep without him.

And now a713production in conjunction with Sheila & Kendra Duncan will unite to bring TROUBLE to life.

Upon completion, plans for the film include upcoming meetings in Los Angeles with product development companies and major children’s networks. A film festival run is also intended.
