Abstract: Wolfdog is a quiet and heartbreaking story that follows Lucas, a film director grappling with grief, love, and the blurred boundaries between cinema and real life during the chaotic production of a film adapted from a novel co-written with his long-time collaborator, Mei. As changes to the script, casting, and even the dog actor unfold, the film shoot becomes a site of emotional confrontation—both between collaborators and within Lucas himself. The arrival of a new assistant, Wilson, introduces unexpected intimacy, forcing Lucas to reckon with past loss and present desire.
