A Still, Small Paw

“Absolutely genius in that it mimics many current sociopolitical issues plaguing countries across the globe, giving it worldwide appeal in a highly competitive feature film market.”

—The Black List, Aug ‘25

“Brilliantly original — the small-dog-as-political-symbol allegory is the screenplay’s most distinctive invention.”

—Greenlight Coverage, Mar ‘26

“I can’t wait for the rest of the world — most of all, the queer kids who need it — to see this story.”

—The Treatment, Charlotte Simmons, Mar ‘26

Logline: A dystopian family thriller. In a near-future America where small dogs have been outlawed as symbols of weakness, a queer 14-year-old hides his nine-pound little dog from a fascist federal extermination order, defies his compliant veterinarian father — and finds the voice his grandmother keeps begging him to use.
