LOS ANGELES - Californer -- McClure Films will commence 2nd unit preliminary filming for upcoming feature, "EthanAlmighty - the Movie." The filming, December 5th, at the annual Bardstown Kiwanis Christmas parade in Bardstown, Kentucky is where the famous canine EthanAlmighty and his poppa Jeff Callaway are serving as Grand Marshals. They are known nationally for raising awareness about abused and neglected animals.

"EthanAlmighty – the Movie," is a dramatic faith based true story of a courageous dog that survived unspeakable odds and brought the entire state of Kentucky together as they prayed for his recovery. Inspired by his strength to live, every person who knows Ethan's story and has followed his journey, had life changing events for the better. With his forgiveness and heart, EthanAlmighty, in turn, inspired the state of Kentucky to enact the Anti-torture/Cruelty to Animals Bill known as Ethan's Law in March 2024.
