No Dogs is a short film shooting in London in December 2021. Auditions will be via self-tape, call-backs and rehearsals will take place in person. All performers will be paid the equity rate. SYNOPSISOn a wintry afternoon in 1982, two teenagers collide on a London backstreet. One of them, Ash, is still smarting from the wounds inflicted on his family by the Brixton riots. Especially on his dad, now forced to do odd-jobs for cash to appease his violent creditors. But Ash dreams of something more, a world of cheesy pop, fast cars and fast food, a million miles from his father’s low expectations of what life has to offer. The other teenager, Bridie - trash-talking and unpredictable - has only one thing on her mind: to become a heroine of the Irish resistance to British colonial rule. Despite this clash of cultures, an unlikely, fragile bond forms between them. But when Bridie casually confides in Ash that the men she’s waiting for are IRA operatives robbing a nearby bank, Ash suddenly starts to suspect that his debt-laden father may have had the same idea…
