Dog star

Actor David Hewlett quietly hypes his feature directorial debut A Dog’s Breakfast in B.C. The dark comedy stars Hewlett as a man driven over the edge by his sister (played by his real-life sibling Kate Hewlett) and her new TV-star fiancé (Paul McGillion). The under-$1-million HD movie was shot in Vancouver by members of the cast and crew of Stargate: Atlantis and Stargate SG-1 (both of which feature Hewlett) during a production hiatus early last year. MGM picked up the project last month for broadcast and home video.
