My first film, DOG.   1979. I was recuperating  from a hang-gliding accident at Torrey Pines, living with my sister in Tarzana and I had this dream about making a film where the voice over was what the dogs might actually be thinking....rather than Hollywood style anthropomorphistic sentimentalities.  

When I got back to Toronto, I worked as a camera assistant for Dennis Miller and I borrowed his Eclair NPR, scrounged some short ends from the lab and shot the film.  The editor didn't understand what I was trying to do till we were in the recording studio with the film already locked.   I was too scared to insist.   

The voices are Joe Bodalai, Barry Stevens, Marien Lewis and myself.
