Art features
The crew used a variety of filming techniquws. The main aim was to show the events through the dog's eyes.
-Our film will be tough, but entirely pacifist in nature. My task is to make the viewer see things from the dog’s point of view, to show how quickly somebody can be brainwashed and turn into a monster
