The Money Pet

The Money Pet is a modern-day fairy tale about a talented dog that eats some loose change and later passes the currency with compounded interest. 1st Assistant Stewart Whelan’s love for photography began at age 11 in his native Dublin, Ireland, when his brother bought him a camera. His filmmaking education started in earnest when he worked as a camera trainee on In the Name of the Father, the feature film photographed by Peter Biziou, BSC. Later, on the crew of John Seale, ASC, ACS, Whelan says he learned the importance of being true to the story no matter what the medium. He joined Local 600 in 2011.
