When the Dog Barks

Inspired by the true story of my great grandparents during WW2. When I was a child, I was obsessed with learning about WW2, and was constantly asking everyone about war stories they had. Most of this story comes directly from the stories my Great Grandmother used to tell me, as well as stories gathered/passed down from other family members. However, I never thought about this as a film until a few days after my Great Grandmother had passed away. I put together the outline in the Summer of 2016, constantly working on it for 2 years. From there I finally broke ground on the script, but it took me until 2021 to get it to a place where I felt comfortable enough to show anyone else. Perhaps the reason I’ve been so careful with the story is that I see this as way to keep my grandparents alive, a way to make sure their story is remembered forever, and it needs to be done right.
