Dog Run

[christinek-33938 · 10/10 · 11 February 2024]

What a beautifully made film, it outlines the plight of Slavery, and is very thought provoking. It is brilliantly directed and the casting locations are well thought out and the players heart rendering performance. It is accopanied by a haunting musical score which ads to the atmosphere Whilst it has a sense of sadness, it gives glimmers of hope in dreadful circumstances.

It brings to the fore a subject matter that is an everyday occurrence.

It deals with Modern Slavery in a sensitive and brutally truthful way which leaves the audience moved in so many ways as the plot develops.

A must see.

A short film with a big message

[drjessicagray · 10/10 · 13 February 2024]

A moving, deeply thought provoking look at a topic that is too often ignored. Dog Run shines a powerful light on the multilayered nature of the human tragedy of modern slavery. Far from it being a two dimensional look at victims and perpetrators, Dog Run's true brilliance is perhaps in the humanity it brings to all the characters, including the role of May. The quality of filming, the weight each of the smaller appearances bring to the overall narrative and the fact that it runs at just over twenty minutes is inspiring. Dog Run packs a big punch for a short film with such modern day significance.

Brilliant film

[sallygray-79801 · 10/10 · 2 April 2024]

The subject matter of this short film was somewhat hard hitting and gave pause for thought, however, it was beautifully filmed and portrayed. The characters were well written and the actors, without too many words, portrayed the difficult subject matter.

The thoughtful writing, filming, direction and music showed that sometimes we don't need words to create a thought provoking piece of art that makes the audience think about the film long after seeing it.

Modern slavery is something that we all need to be aware of as there are people in the world who are always happy to exploit others.

This short film is highly recommended as a way of getting across to the audience how we should care for all things around us, the environment, animals and people.
