Video Interview: @ThisFunktional talks with RESCUED's Writer talks about positive message of the movie

Jesus Figueroa, @ThisFunktional of ThisFunktional.com, talks with writer-director-actor D.J. Hale about feature film RESCUED, having its world premiere on June 25 at Dances with Films. RESCUED is an emotionally grounded human drama about survival, redemption, and the transformative power of connection. The film follows Tyler, an unhoused man whose once-stable life has unraveled through addiction, isolation, and self-destruction. After forming an unexpected bond with a stray dog named Angel, Tyler slowly begins confronting the shame, hopelessness, and emotional wounds that led him to the streets — while rediscovering trust, dignity, and purpose along the way. RESCUED will have its world premiere on June 25 at 8:45pm at the TCL Chinese Theatre. WRITER/DIR: D.J. Hale PRODS: D.J. Hale, Dominique R.
