Mr.Dogwalker Short Film

Now Online!

After a not so mutual breakup, a classy lady loses custody of her dog so she disguises herself as a male dog walker to spend time with her dog without her asshole ex knowing.

Director Statement

After a grueling year or so of sharing custody with a vindictive ex I finally gave up my son, I mean dog. I couldn’t believe the whole thing happened and that I wasn’t the only one who went through doggy custody. (Some people even went through Beanie Baby custody!)

For years I wanted to share my story to help connect people and create more understanding around manipulative breakups, especially with fur babies and even non fur babies. It wasn’t until I faced my cute, little lady-like victim mentality with gender identity questions that I found my story, this story. The story of Mrs. Doubtfire, but with a dog!

Mr. Dogwalker isn’t just a way to have fun modernizing the comedy classic, but a way to start conversations about toxic relationships, toxic masculinity/femininity, and fur baby kindness. Plus it was a great excuse to showcase a female dressing as a male, instead of the mainstream male to female, and to have a drag king character who also performs in the film!

I hope you laugh, cry, and talk about gender identities, especially in relationships.
