Alto Knights (2025)
Two of New York’s most notorious organized crime bosses, Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, vie for control of the city’s streets. Once the best of friends, petty jealousies and a series of betrayals place them on a deadly collision course that will reshape the Mafia (and America) forever.
Animal actors in this production were monitored through American Humane Society’s No Animals Were Harmed® program. See certified new releases
Alto Knights
Detailed Animal Action Report
In the scene where there’s an actor on a rooftop with pigeons in a coop, prior to shooting, the pigeons were carried to set in well-ventilated carriers. The pigeons were individually placed into the coop and allowed time to acclimate. Inside the coop the pigeons have water and feed along with perches. The trainers were positioned immediately behind camera. After shooting the scenes, the pigeons were individually placed into the travel containers.
In the scene where the actress watches her husband on television and she has two dogs on her lap, the dogs’ caretaker brought them to set in their carrier. He put them on the couch with actor. She smoked the herbal cigarette intermittently and blew the smoke away from the dogs.
In the scene where the actor walks dogs out of the lobby, the dogs actually belong to actor who is walking them, so he knew how to handle them and their temperament.
