Doglike

I had the pleasure of watching this film, written and Directed by Ilias Avramides, at its premeier in shoredich last October and I was astonished by it's amazing display of technical skill, the astounding performances and it's engaging view of a prominent matter, that being of Homelessness in the UK. The treatment of this issue is perfectly posted alongside the struggles of modern society and the many dead ends a person can end up in when the are living in a cold and distant society to the ones less fortunate. This effect is heightened by the fact that the interaction betweeen the two takes place in the London Underground, a place that has been the linked with the issue of London homelessness. The director's request for shooting in the London Undergoriund was rejected by the TFL as they did not want to associate thmselves with homelesness. This, besides providing a great deal of Irony and further confirmation of the company's stance of the matter, it porved to be agreat chnace for Ilias to employ a plethora of technical achievements alongside with the crew of the movie, in order to provide the end result.

A very thought provoking and immensely enjoyable film.

Ilias, I whish you all the best in your endeavors.

This film is interesting because it allows us to be reflective on the nature of human beings, choices and actions we make, as well as the material conditions surrounding us and its effects.

Paige Hudson and El Hudson demonstrated this with a quite intense conversation with each other, talking about the nature of responsibility, psychological pain and fate.

The shorts, lighting and the acting is superb which furthers reinforce the meaning and message of the film.

In my opinion, this short film will question what we do and make us more reflective of both our actions and that of society. This is something quite rare in modern filming. This film is a 9/10 for me.

Really enjoyed this watch

It was a great concept, a different one that I really enjoyed. It grasps your attention immediately and you stay with it wanting to find out more

Really enjoyed the attention to detail at some parts and that the film is open to interpretation which in a sense really helps it to flow and really gets you thinking

Know of El Anthony but hadn't heard of Paige Hudson before and there is something very likeable and striking about the 2 of them well done all

I actually really also enjoyed the differences between them both as characters this really shined throughout their acting and the story.

Thank you for such a brilliant sort film. I just love the clear, coherent way that you organise it all, but mostly it's the content of the lesson ideas that is great. Through your sort film I find that, primarily, I learn things, as each films plan makes you want to explore other things.

You know how to connect with people and feelings through your own choices of film and how you focus on the opportunities that each clip can provide. In this way your work is a rich and meaningful source of inspiration.

Thank you so much for this sort film which I've just discovered and which is a goldmine!!!!!

I thought that the acting from Paige Hudson and El Anthony was superb, and beautifully framed by the intricate and sensitive writing and directing of Elias Avramidis. The settings are subtle, yet extremely eye catching, with suave minimalist undertones and a splendid colour-graded tinge to the master cut. The camera work also goes for gold, with slow panning and intimate shots of the characters that will leave you feeling curious and inspired. 'Doglike', this short film produced by Elias and the wonderful crew at Underground Filmmakers, is the first of many productions to keep your eye on! Congratulations guys!!
