Evolving Soul of a Mongrel Dog

Diary of a Mongrel Dog (Extended Trailer) from CineNature on Vimeo.


I have been in production on this documentary for three years with producer John Arden.

Right up until the very last frame, it looks at truth and how we perceive it.

It's about how we perceive ourselves, how we interpret our history, and how we manage our relationships.

'John', the film's key character, has been the subject of much diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Each has impacted heavily on his growth.

John's struggle is universal. He's looking for a place to call "home".

It's been quite a tough journey for all concerned.

Excuse my lack of posts, but I've been working on the last chapter of a three-years-in-the-makin doco (Diary of a Mongrel Dog) and feature (fertISLE) in New Zealand these past few weeks.

Although I brought movies with me, writing and filmmaking stuff have gotten in the way of viewing -- and reading.

fertISLE is right up my alley and is the type of movie that fills me with passion. The sea. Dolls. Isolation. A man against the elements. An incredible island for location shooting. Minimal dialog. Maximum contrast. Even a little perversion. It's been a tough shoot, but, hopefully, the results will entertain a few people.

Below are a selection of frame grabs.

Enjoy!
