SMART: Specialized Mobile Animal Rescue Team

“We’re the last line. If we can’t do it, no one can. We haven’t walked away from a rescue yet.” Armando Navarrete

In just 74 minutes, filmmaker Justin Zimmerman tells a myriad number of stories about the creation of SMART, the Los Angeles-based daredevil staff who rescue animals, and stories of their many rescues.

SMART is the first, most highly skilled animal rescue organization of its kind—all thanks to founder Armando Navarrete. Although we hear from several team members, the principal characters are Navarrete and Annette Ramirez each of whom make powerful impressions of their passion and commitment to animal care. Navarrete’s hope, of course, is to spread his team’s model around the world.

Thoroughly engaging and inspiring, SMART: Specialized Mobile Animal Rescue Team is a film by, for, and about animal lovers such as yours truly.

The film is produced by bricker-down productions, and distributed by Cinema Libre Studio.
