*FILM* Throw Me to the Dogs

[Aaron Dunleavy]

Hey everyone,

I'm really excited to be able to share my short film which has just finished a year long festival run.

The film is about growing up in Northern England, very much inspired by Shane's work, and is completely improvised, street-casted and made on a shoestring budget of about £900.

I'd love to hear any feedback! Hope you enjoy.

Cheers,
Aaron




Throw Me to the Dogs

A troubled teenage boy, growing up in a dreamless wilderness and isolated from those around him, is stripped of his dignity as his father abandons him for the outside world which he is trying to retreat from.
