IMDB Page For LIFE SPAN OF A DOG  Synopsis: Set in the United States in the early 1970s, a young teen girl loses her father and descends into extreme grief. Not only that, she starts having flashbacks of a life she never lived, that of her father during his time in Auschwitz and 2 different work camps in Nazi Germany. Her only solace is found in Musical Theater as well as her only 2 friends at school. This is an autobiographical coming-of-age short.




 



Just added this video.  The character of Laura, who's story it is, is haunted by flashbacks she never experienced.   And can't figure out why. 


Film will shoot in SEPTEMBER 2021 (postponed from our original goal of Spring 2021, due to Covid)
