Meet The Animal Rescue Team Who Risk Their Own Lives In The Film “SMART”

Specialized Mobile Animal Rescue, or “SMART”, is the subject of award-winning filmmaker Justin Zimmerman’s latest project. “SMART” is a feature-length documentary following a group of highly trained professionals in Los Angeles as they do everything they can to save wild and domestic animals in danger.

The action-packed film was shot over a three-year period and chronicles a wide variety of rescue situations, from your standard cat in the tree to such unusual predicaments as lifting a horse out of a river by helicopter and tranquilizing a deer in Pee-wee Herman’s back yard.


The Cage & Screen Report takes you behind the scenes of film and TV to bring you the stories of mixed martial artists, boxers, and fighters of all kinds who have crossed from the cage, octagon, or ring into the bright lights of Hollywood and beyond.
