Vancouver film makers team up with local dogs to create a fun and fictitious candy company, Kenkosei!

The owner and CEO of Kenkosei, a business savvy Shiba Inu named Sei-Sei, has reached the age where she is looking to retire to the countryside. She is looking for your help to choose 2 successors. 12 Local dogs (and one suspicious looking feline terrier) are the final hopefuls who need your votes to paw their way to the top and earn one of the two star spots in their very own Kenkosei commercial.

Every $2 donated counts as 1 vote for your chosen ambassador. The funds raised will go towards the production (rentals, costumes, equipment, etc.) of the commercial. The first goal is $3500 but once that is reached more surprises and bonuses are in store!

This company, and the commercials, will be crucial parts of the feature film that Kenkosei Productions is making.

Talking about this first stage in the project, producer Nikki Wallin said “This has been, by far, the best project I have worked on. Over 120 dogs applied and somehow we got that number down to 25 for videoed auditions. Then came the most difficult part, which was trying to pick the final 10 from all of these amazing and talented animals! Obviously we failed, and picked more! I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people and dogs to work with!”
