Synopsis:

Hounddog is a film written, directed and produced by Deborah Kampmeier and starring child actress Dakota Fanning. Robin Wright Penn serves as an executive producer (and also has an acting role, as Stranger Lady). The film was produced by Jen Gatien. It will premiere in competition at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Taking place in the 1960s American South (the film is being shot in North Carolina),

Fanning plays Lewellen. a troubled 12-year old girl who finds solace from an abusive life through blues music. Blues music is delicately woven throughout this touching film to create a colorful tapestry of a melancholy life that finds release and healing through the signing of the Blues.

The film is facing controversy before even being released due to reports of scenes that include Dakota's caharcter nude and being raped, however, recent investigations and press releases have stated that the scenes are not as graphic as the press have been stating,. Dakota was wearing a body suit during the entire rape scene and there was a child welfare worker on the set, along with her agent and mother. The production coordinator estimates the rape scene will only take up about a minute of the entire feature-length film. She says it was shot above the shoulders, using Dakota's facial expressions to illustrate what is happening.
