趣闻
Car Dogs is a 2016 drama film which stars George Lopez, Dash Mihok, Patrick J. Adams, Octavia Spencer, and Josh Hopkins. The film is set in a car dealership where, in a single day, salesmen have to sell more cars than they ever have done.
Production
Car Dogs was directed by Adam Collis, a film professor at Arizona State University (ASU), and developed through a partnership between private equity investors and ASU. Collis arranged for 85 ASU film students and 15 recent graduates to participate as interns on the production, working alongside a professional crew to gain practical filmmaking experience.
The screenplay was written by Mark Edward King, a former ASU student, who originally conceived the story as a short film about a group of salesmen attempting to break a one-day sales record. Collis encouraged King to expand the concept into a feature-length script, noting that the single-location setting would suit a low-budget production. He also emphasised that car buying was a broadly relatable theme in American culture.
Casting director John Jackson, known for his collaborations with Alexander Payne, helped assemble the film’s cast. One major revision involved reimagining a role initially written for a young “Ben Affleck–type” into one for an older Mexican-American salesman, leading to the casting of George Lopez.
Filming took place on an abandoned car lot in Scottsdale, Arizona, under the Screen Actors Guild Low Budget Agreement. Collis declined to reveal the budget but described it as modest while not a micro-budget project.
