El Doggo Productions
El Doggo Productions was formed to develop and promote films and media works which will help raise the consciousness of society-at-large with regard to drugs and politics.
There first venture “Smoke Screen” was created with the hope that it would enlighten the public as to the tragic consequences of the “WAR ON DRUGS’. The producers assembled a group of actors, actresses and crew members dedicated to the concept of freedom – the right to use recreational drugs that do not harm others.

THIS FILM WAS MADE FROM THE HEART.
Unfortunately the scenes planned for the four legged chairman of the El Doggo himself, was fired on his first day of shooting by the director thus ending the poor dog’s film career before it began. And to think he “could have been a contender”. Nevertheless, El Doggo was not discouraged. He continue to make everyone laugh. And why not? He’s bi lingual…understanding both English and Spanish…which fits right in here in Hollywood.
