Experiencing Interruptions?

PuppyLove

PuppyLove is a poetic meditation on dogs and how they enrich our lives. We spend an afternoon with James, artist and animal-lover, while he ponders on loves lived, imagined and idealised. A blank canvas comes to life in this ode to love and dogs.

Director Statement

I have known James for over a decade now and his perspective on love has always fascinated me. This film is a memorial of sorts; to honor and remember James' life as defined by his various loves - the love of art, of dogs and the idea of love itself.
