I had the pleasure of meeting with Marylou Zarbock, Editor of Rabbits USA, last October at the ARBA National Convention. She not only watched Rabbit Fever, but she also wrote a great story on it that’s featured prominently in the magazine. You can pickup a copy at your local bookstore, Petco, Petsmart and select pet shops. Thanks again, Marylou! Interest in the project just keeps on growing and this will make more rabbit people aware of the film!

Excerpt: What do you get when you combine more than 150 hours of filming, multiple visits to 11 states, more than 38,000 miles of travel via plane or car, and film footage of more than 64,000 rabbits and interviews with numerous rabbit enthusiasts? You get a documentary entitled Rabbit Fever! At least that’s what you get when you’re director, writer and producer Amy Do. But that’s only part of the story behind how the film Rabbit Fever got made.

Do caught the “rabbit bug” as a child when she owned Dutch rabbits. Years later when she was in film school at USC, she chose rabbit showing as the subject of a film short for a class. That decision took her on an eight-year journey that will be fully realized when the full-length documentary Rabbit Fever enters the film fest circuit. It already had a preview screening as a work-in-progress at the San Francisco Documentary Film Festival in October 2009 and was also previewed at the American Rabbit Breeders’ Association annual show and convention in November 2009.

“Director Amy Do’s endearingly amusing feature-length debut follows the annual competition at the National American Rabbit Convention, where more than 20,000 rabbits and their adorably quirky breeders gather to celebrate their common passion. Adults vie for the “Best in Show” title, while teenage attendees contend for “Rabbit King” and “Rabbit Queen” honors. If that makes Rabbit Fever sound like something Christopher Guest might have dreamed up for one of his mockumentaries, that’s not far off the mark, though Do, an avowed fan of the competition, clearly has a real affection for her subjects that’s sometimes missing from Guest’s razor-sharp barbs.”
