My Black Dog is a cinematic remake of FLING's award winning 2019 live work. 

A powerful film exploring youth mental health, particularly of those living in regional locations. 

My Black Dog takes an honest and realistic look at the situations adolescents in regional centres are facing, speaking to them directly about what's going on and striving to develop a youth centric approach to tackling these issues.
​
The film expresses stories that are touching, honest and uplifting. Utilising the abstraction of dance and performance to express the more visceral aspects of struggling with a mental illness, and demonstrating the different points of connection and support that can be created or exist around a young person.
