CARL’S DATE looks at the challenges of moving on after losing your spouse. It’s a bittersweet tale since it’s Ed Asner’s final performance as Carl before he passed in 2021.
What works in this short film is the love shared between Carl and his adorable squirrel-obsessed dog, Doug (Bob Peterson). Their friendship carries the cute story as Carl learns you can “teach an old dog new tricks.”
It’s playing in theatres with ELEMENTAL.
