I was so excited when I saw that there was a second instalment being screened at the Calgary Underground Film Festival this year. I enjoyed the original so much and I was happy to see that Against All Odds stayed within the same vein.

Some local CUFF.Docs content — this is the sequel to Andrew Simpson’s 2011 Wolves Unleashed documentary. It follows the Scotland-born, Calgary-based filmmaker’s own experiences as an animal trainer, who has worked with the feathered, furred and four-legged actors in such films and television shows as Game of Thrones, Elf, A Cry In the Dark and The Revenant.

Animal trainer and documentarian Andrew Simpson will make the Canadian premiere of his second film on the closing night of CUFF.Docs. Alberta-based Simpson has trained everything from birds to bears but his legacy is best defined by his work with wolves — his work as a trainer has been integral to productions including The Revenant, Wynonna Earp and even Game of Thrones.
