Andalusian Dogs search for answers to difficult questions in new film
Traverse City, Michigan
Andalusian Dogs announced start of principal photography for its latest project, Under The Eightball. The film, a documentary by director Timothy Grey, will seek the origins of the often misdiagnosed and misunderstood Lyme disease.
Timothy's sister Lori Hall Steele became ill in the summer of 2007 and was diagnosed with Lyme disease earlier this year. This set him on a course that led to disturbing evidence about the genesis of the disease.
"We were all very scared at what was happening to Lori and what we had discovered, but even more frightening was the possibility that this was something that could have been prevented.... or worse that it was intentional in the name of science and National Security... I had questions.... many questions. And I'd be damned if they went unanswered." - Under The Eightball
The production will film primarily in Traverse City and regionally in Michigan. The production team will also travel to Maryland, Washington DC, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey.
Under The Eightball will mark Grey's third feature film and first documentary. Lower the Sun, a surrealist noir drama shot in 2005, is in post production and will be released this fall. The first, VOW, was called "both disturbing and entertaining and a wonderful addition to independent film" by Oscar-winning director Michael Moore.
