Sheepdogs at 
Palm Spring Shortfest 2025
​

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Local film “Sheepdogs” was accepted into the Palm Spring International Film Society’s Shortfest 2025. The documentary depicts military veterans’ struggles and triumphs over injury and illness. It will screen in “Desert Docs,” Tuesday, June 24 at 2pm at the Festival Theaters, 789 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way in Palm Springs.

Filmed on location in Twentynine Palms in 2024, “Sheepdogs" follows artist Ted Meyer as he paints the body scars resulting from illness and injury of four veterans from the Marines and the Navy. The film was directed by Brian Knappmiller and produced by Meyer and Anna Stump, and funded in part by the California Arts Council Creative Corp Grants.
