A small dog left at home for the day has fun on his own.

Of the many short films by students that I get to see at festivals and through friends, this little film has always stood out for me because it does so many things right as a short film. First and foremost it tells a story VISUALLY and uses only a hint of dialogue. It also is visually fun and creates a full well rendered character out of it's small canine lead, something many big Hollywood films with animals fail to do. From a sheer entertainment standpoint is pure fun to watch. I found myself laughing through out and I am always showing it to friends when the discussion of fun short films comes up. Technically the filmmakers do a GREAT JOB with shot selection, editing and music. This film is a great example of how a great short film can be made with the simplest of setting and resources. Great job guys!!!
