Ausfilm member, Stage and Screen Travel Services, managed travel for film VIPs of a canine kind when they worked on RED DOG, set for release on 4 August.

The entertainment travel specialists moved four spirited kelpies to remote parts of Australia for filming of the movie, which tells the true story of a dog renowned for his travels through WA’s Pilbara region.

Stage and Screen arranged for the four canine stars to be flown from Melbourne and Adelaide to Karratha to star in the production. The task included organising flight permits and crates, and coordinating pick-ups and transfers for the animals. On their arrival in Perth, the dogs were also given a ‘comfort stop’ before they were flown to Karratha.

“RED DOG took film travel logistics to a whole new level for us,” said Stage and Screen Travel Manager Lyndal Hunt. “We loved working with the dogs and it really was a case of booking travel for A-Listers with special requests!”
