Filmmaker Statement

Made first short film after a few months of being heavy into cinema with someone I knew was a great actor, my dog. I had to give the film some type of meaning I'm sure anyone could find within themselves and that is the feeling of being trapped, it could be in a physical location or just your mind limiting you from anything, and with my dog always staring right through the glass doors it gave me a clear vision of what I wanted to make, so with a premiere pro free trial membership and my dad's laptop I got to work filming and putting together something that could be nice. Black and White for indoor to represent a somber take on being trapped inside and since "dogs see in b&w" it made sense since we are being shown his perspective. Then when he's outside we see the colorful world to represent what he thinks is out there and what it’d be like if he could get past those doors. We think he has made it out but we see it was in his mind as he jumps off the bench and he is still stuck inside.
