It’s NOT A Blog. It’s A Forum.
Greetings, and welcome to the official “What’s The Story, Wishbone?” documentary film forum!
Why a forum, you ask? Well. Why not? According to Google and its AI overlords, forums are still very relevant and popular. ESPECIALLY forums that are so niche that they only focus on one film. And a film that doesn’t even have distribution yet. Oh, and the film is about a television show from the 90s, that hasn’t been on the air in decades. Yeah, we’re about as niche as you can possibly get. Which, again, according to the AI overlords, is a good thing.
I’m Larry Brantley. I’m a producer on the documentary, but my career actually began when I was cast to play the voice of Wishbone. The story of my audition and subsequent casting is told in the documentary, so I won’t spoil it here. Suffice to say, I got the job, and it was – and remains – the best role I ever landed.
So. What is the point of this forum, you ask? For me and my co-producers (Betty Buckley and Joey Stewart, who also directed the film), the answer is pretty simple. We want a way to engage with you, our audience, and Wishbone fans everywhere. We want to build a community around the film. We want to be able to update you with any news about the film’s path toward distribution. We want to entertain you with stories about working on “Wishbone” that didn’t necessarily make it into the final cut of the documentary.
But mostly it’s a way to keep me from bugging the ever-loving shit out of Joey and Betty, while they have the unenviable task of trying to get our movie about the little dog show out to the world. (I’m like the kid in the back of the station wagon. “Are we there yet? Are we there yet?”) Which is to say that I’ll be contributing most of the forum entries here. Of course, I’m sure Joey and Betty will chime in from time to time – probably to remind you that whatever tumbles out of my brain and onto these digital pages does not necessarily represent their views, opinions, or even reality. That’s fine. We all have our burdens to bear.
Now is the part where you get to drop us a line in the comment section. All that we ask is that you be nice about it. (Seriously. I mean, who would troll a forum about a documentary film about one of the most beloved characters from the 90s? Don’t be that person.) Tell us YOUR Wishbone story. Ask us a question. Regale us with a joke. Let’s get this rig rolling.
