STRAY, a short film

A dark coming-of-age tale set in a world of fallen Americana: a Chevy truck, a hot desert, a dog, and a teenage boy set out on the road. Lost on the side of the highway, he is forced to reevaluate himself in a brief, but inescapable confrontation with the cruelty of others.

Thank you to everyone that dedicated their talents, time and resources to make this film possible.

Written and Directed by Kevin Klauber, Cinematography by Jon Salmon, Assistant Camera Daniel Hamilton, Produced by Alicia Martin and Christina Funkhouser, Gaffer Alex Pelly, Music by Grant Letchner, Sound Design by Kevin Klauber, Mixing / Visual FX by Freddie Wong, Animal Trainer Brandon McMillan.

Brilliant^^

But the dog's ok, right?

[klauber901]

@DETROITxXGHOSTXx oh yeah, it was all prosthetic FX on a trained dog.

This short film was absolutely extraordinary. It really was like a hollywood main-stream movie, from the abstract sounds, the wounds on the dog that looked realistic, the camera, the lighting, even to the sound effect of footsteps; I really felt like I was watching a part of a real movie. Great work. This video deserves A LOT more views. Thumbs up if you agree :D
