Therapy Dogs / Film School Radio interview with Director Ethan Eng

Inspired by Matthew Miller and Matt Johnson’s THE DIRTIES, teenage angst, and a certainty that last thing people remember about high school is lesson plan, Ethan Eng’s hurls itself head first into everything else that makes high school memorable in his award winning debut film, THERAPY DOGS. Ethan and his best friend Justin are students trying to make sense of their high school existence. In what will be the last chapter of their teenage lives and the beginning of adulthood and beyond, they decide to make the ultimate senior video in the search for answers. Exploring teenage suburbia in a no-brakes adventure, questions arise whether there’s more to their lives than simply growing up. Director, writer and lead actor Ethan Eng joins us for a conversation on the remarkably accomplished debut film that masterfully blends together documentary, narrative, skater punk and high school “senior project” elements to create something wholly unique and compelling, as well as how his collaboration with fellow lead actor and producer Justin Morrice and enlisting Matthew Miller and Matt Johnson (The Dirties, Operation Avalanche) to be THERAPY DOGS executive producers.
