Our story
Two days after 9/11, our beloved pup, McQueen, was stolen from our yard. He was a cherished member of our family, and his absence left a profound void in our hearts.
The loss was devastating, and we refused to accept it passively. We went to extraordinary lengths to bring him home, even consulting a pet communicator and stalking what turned out to be an innocent man. Though we felt we were close to finding him, after four long months of searching, we had to confront the painful reality that we would never see McQueen again.
In 2003, we turned our experience into our first short film, DOG GONE, which resonated with many as a universal story of love and loss. This project sparked the start of our company, so in honor of our little dog and the invaluable lessons he taught us, we named our company after him.

Bob Tourtellotte is an award-winning writer, producer, and former entertainment journalist whose career has spanned international news and independent filmmaking. As Entertainment and Lifestyle Editor for Reuters News, he covered Hollywood and the film industry for more than fifteen years, interviewing many of the industry's most influential actors, filmmakers, and executives.
While at Reuters, Bob began collaborating with his wife, filmmaker Jane Clark, on a series of award-winning short films, including Dog Gone, which he wrote. Together they co-founded FilmMcQueen, where Bob serves as Executive Producer, overseeing productions including the supernatural romantic comedy Witchy Ways, distributed by Wolfe Media.
Their first feature collaboration, Meth Head, earned critical acclaim for its honest portrayal of addiction. It was followed by the horror-comedy Crazy Bitches, which became an unexpected cult favorite—and, rather infamously, one of the ten most illegally downloaded films during its opening week in 2015. The feature later inspired two seasons of the short-form series Crazy Bitches.
As a screenwriter, Bob has created several original television projects, including Tahlequah, a supernatural thriller about a young man who discovers his father's RV park is a portal through which murder victims seek revenge, and #upndown, a comedy co-created with Marc Price and inspired by Marc's experiences as a former child star.
Bob holds a master's degree in Journalism from New York University.
