The Australian Premiere of Danielle Bayne’s short film The Dog is on at Flickerfest 2025.

A sick dog mysteriously appears in the clinic of an overworked vet and tries to negotiate their own death, leading both on a surreal journey. Starring Kate Walsh (Grey’s Anatomy, Emily in Paris), the short film navigates the themes of life, mortality and grief. 

2ser spoke with creator Danielle Baynes, an award-winning actor, writer and director based in Australia.
