The dogwalker

The writer/director Jacque Thelemaque and lead actress Diane Gaidry will participate in Q&A’s after the 7:20 screenings on August 25th, 26th and 27th.

Set against the colorful backdrop of the Los Angeles dogwalking scene, THE DOGWALKER follows the moving, transformational journey of Ellie Moore (Diane Gaidry), on the run from her latest abusive boyfriend.

Down and out on the mean streets of L.A, rescue comes in the unlikely form of Betsy Wright (Pamela Gordon), a misanthropic Dogwalker in need of help with her business and struggling with her own dark past.

The unusual relationship between the cranky dogwalker and her unstable apprentice sets the stage for the emotional transformation Ellie must undertake. In Betsy, she encounters a dark mirror of herself – a lonely, angry, complex woman whose own troubled past proves disturbing like her own. And in the dogs, Ellie finds lost pieces of herself as she fumbles with the leash to her own life – struggling to hold on as it pulls her toward a brighter future before her past catches up with her.
