HOUNDDOG, written and directed by Deborah Kampmeier, was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. The film stars Dakota Fanning, Robin Wright Penn, David Morse and Piper Laurie. A spirited young girl in 1950s rural Alabama struggles to rise above the repression that surrounds her. She finds comfort and safety, as well as a place to put her hurt and rage, in the music of Elvis Presley, but it will be her own voice that gives her the strength and courage to walk away from her past and into her future.
