Filmmaker Statement

Line Dogs started as a conversation on a cross-country drive. As we exchanged memories of dreams, relationships, and a decade of working in kitchens, a story emerged that we felt could only be told in the language of cinema. Living in different states, we made time when we could, gathered willing friends, and shot loose and raw—trying to find something truthful, something that we couldn’t plan for. Ultimately, we found the film in the editing, rendering everything down until one essential relationship remained.
