Dog Reality

A per­son­al short film com­bin­ing storytelling, film­mak­ing & anim­a­tion.

This short film fol­lows the quiet jour­ney of a dog named Nena through Zurich’s Wiedikon district—offering a gentle, four-legged per­spect­ive on the every­day life of a neigh­bor­hood. It’s a simple story, but one close to my heart. I developed the concept, wrote the script, cre­ated the story­board, filmed on loc­a­tion, and handled all post-pro­duc­tion. And yes—Nena is my dog.

The film was cre­ated as part of my dip­loma pro­ject for the Anim­a­tion pro­gram at EB Zurich. It gave me the chance to com­bine mul­tiple cre­at­ive disciplines—direction, cine­ma­to­graphy, edit­ing, and visu­al storytelling—into a single cohes­ive piece. The res­ult is a quiet but express­ive short film that invites view­ers to slow down and notice the details.

This pro­ject is a per­son­al reflec­tion of my pas­sion for mul­tidiscip­lin­ary design, where even small moments can be craf­ted with care and mean­ing.
