"Scrappy" has been chosen along with just 14 other films to screen in the Maldito Festival de Videopoesia within the Abycine Festival from October 20-28, 2017 in Albacete, Spain.

Adapted for the screen by director/producer Dawn Westlake, "Scrappy" is based on the Studs Terkel Humanities Award-winning poem by her father, Donald G. Westlake, which recounts a real-life anecdote from his childhood about standing up to the gun culture in the USA.

Pol Carrizo-Vilarroig of Imatge Barcelona shot the film on the CanonC300 and also edited and did VFX. 2016 Peer Raben Music Award nominee GC Johnson provided the original score.

"Scrappy" introduces the 5-yr-old actress Nefertina Lizarraga and her dog Kong (as SCRAPPY) in their first professional performances.
