The Pets
Writer
Dizzy Turek
It’s 2011 and an animal collector in Zanesville, Ohio has set every one of his 50 exotic pets free. THE PETS takes us on a wild, dark, and hilarious roam around the Ohio countryside, as seven of these formerly captive creatures contemplate what safety and freedom mean in a world without a net. Or cages. Or instincts. THE PETS is about leaving home and starting over in a place where even St. Francis of Assisi (alive and in the flesh!) can’t help. It's Animal Farm meets The Wizard of Oz meets a road trip comedy with a late 90s soundtrack. Based on a true story.
