ULTRAVIOLET PICTURES TAKES FLIGHT WITH ADAPTATION OF FAITH AND THE ELECTRIC DOGS BY PATRICK JENNINGS

Ultraviolet Pictures has announced its feature film adaptation of Faith and the Electric Dogs, the award-winning book by Patrick Jennings, an accomplished children’s book author who has written 25 books all published by NYC houses. The screenplay was originally adapted by Jamie Waese and later rewritten by acclaimed filmmaker Charles Martin Smith (A Dog’s Purpose, Dolphin Tale).

A soaring flight into magic realism, Faith and the Electric Dogs follows a young American girl uprooted to Mexico, who channels her homesickness into building a rocket ship to fly home. En route she crashes on a faraway island where an old castaway and her best friend and co-pilot, a dog named Eddie, help her rediscover her faith — and her way home again.   

Blending whimsy and wisdom Faith and the Electric Dogs explores courage, belonging, and the universal search for home. Families can expect an uplifting, imaginative adventure where girls fly rockets, dogs talk, and everything, as in all good fairy tales, turns out just as it should.

“Faith and the Electric Dogs is a story that reminds us what family films can be,” said Dana Friedman, producer and founder of Ultraviolet Pictures. “It’s heartfelt, funny, and deeply human — the kind of story that speaks to both kids and adults, not through spectacle, but through spirit.”

Ultraviolet Pictures was founded to create meaningful, all-audience family entertainment — films that celebrate timeless values and real-world heroes. The company’s mission is to reimagine the family film space with uplifting stories that inspire hope, fortify courage, and cultivate change.
