The dead man & the dog





The dead man & the dog

The dead man & the dog is a film that portrays the relationship between a man and his crooked dog. The dog is said to be humankind’s best friend & companion. We follow the protagonists on a journey, as they struggle across the dunes, through the desert. A quest searching for one’s inner self, a lost oasis in a deserted landscape where there is nowhere to hide from the blazing rays of the sun…

The film is a collaboration between filmmaker Brede Korsmo of WickedWax Pictures and Jay King of High Path Studio’s.
