RELEASE THIS WEEK:
The Dog - A Rapidly Condensed Guide to Treading Water
An underwriter recounts his career in body part insurance sales in an attempt to affirm his life choices.
Director: Michael Makaroff
Q: What was the inspiration behind the film?
A:The storyline of a travelling body parts insurance salesman originated from conversations with a reporter who once created a news story about the profession. This job was incredible to me. Car, home, life insurance—all of those things have their purpose, but preparing to lose a specific part of yourself, like an arm, a leg, or an ear, is totally different. It feels as though our attempts to prepare for the worst are now removing us from truly experiencing life. This is what Hugh and I tried to explore in this story: the dichotomy of simultaneously trying to save oneself and annexing oneself from enduring life.
Q: What is your favorite book?
A: Borges - The Aleph (Short stories collection)
