Dog is the local Triad enforcer, a simple gangster, addicted to violence, bound by a strict honor code. Standing outside an old warehouse Xian, the Boss’s right hand man takes a phone call confirming the order to go in and clear out the current occupants. Dog duly obliges, brutally laying the smack down to a group of scumbags.

As he leans in to light a post-fight cigarette he hears a noise, women’s voices and goes to investigate. He finds a group of what can only be prostitutes hiding out and makes as if to beat them too but relents. The boss calls again, ordering Dog to guard the building for a few weeks to ensure the gang don’t repossess it. Dog must not leave. He accepts but is clearly not happy. Dog’s life inside is one of routine, training, cooking noodles, patrolling the premises. But soon it’s clear that his need for violence is taking over, driving him mad.

Bridge

Writer/Director/Producer: Frank Fearon.

A retelling of old moral tales. Bridge blends elements of far eastern and American cinema into a bedtime story and a wild ride. This short features fantasy, action, and comedy in its tale of four travelers who discover a tunnel into a mystical world. They explore and come upon a bridge that spans a vast, misty swamp. They set off across it, ignoring the seemingly inconsequential 25c toll request at its entrance: not a clever plan.
