“Tony” by the Responsibility Project

Tate Donovan stars in this GREAT George Clooney produced film about recovering a child’s lost teddy bear.  Totally heart-warming video that was not actually produced by George Clooney but by Smokehouse Productions which he has backed.

“Tony” stars Donovan as a father who is relentless in finding his cancer-stricken son’s lost teddy bear. He apparently has enough time and resources to turn right back around and fly to LA from Seattle, where the stuffed toy was left behind. But his greatest asset is his ability to unintentionally draw in everyone he encounters, forming a search party made up of good samaritans. The way the short is set up, we know nothing of the object being sought, just that the kid calls it Tony. So I kept expecting some punchline reveal at the end if and when they find it/him. “Tony” isn’t a jokey short, however, and while the very end let’s out the slightest of ironic sighs, this isn’t meant to be a sly or sardonic story.
