Dog Sees God
is a coming-of-age dramedy with a cosmic edge. When a meteor lands in his backyard—killing his beloved dog—suburban misfit Atticus channels his grief into his struggling garage-punk band. As he wrestles with teenage angst, fractured family dynamics, and a growing government presence in his neighborhood, he starts to realize that in an unfair world, relationships are what truly matter.
Logline:
When Atticus’ beloved dog gets struck by a meteorite all while scrambling to finish a rock/punk song with his best friend, Atticus plunges into his first existential crisis. As the chaos of family life and scientific discovery swirls around him, will Atticus learn that love, loss, and finding freedom in his music are all part of growing up?

Director's Statement
Dog Sees God is a wild, heartwarming film where rock music isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a character. We’re diving into existential crises through a lens that’s anything but conventional: humor and music. In the last few years, we’ve survived pandemics, wars, wildfires, and the looming threat of AI. In a world where justice and logic seem so distant, how do we make sense of it all?
We believe the answer is simple—human connection. It’s about finding someone to care for. It’s about protesting, not with destruction, but outrageous creativity. When we start truly connecting with others, we realize we’re not alone—no matter how big the meteorite in our backyard may seem.
