Filming will take place in and around Torbay and Newton Abbot during the week beginning Monday, June 6 for a week. You would only be required for one day. Refreshments and a DVD copy of the film will be provided to participants.

Dog Collar Criminal is one of the successful commissions from Exeter Phoenix Digital’s Green Light scheme awarded to writer/director Tom Austin (winner of both jury and audience awards at Two Short Nights Film Festival 2009 for his Exeter Phoenix Digital Short Film Commission La Legende_Dali).

It’s the story of one Devon man’s journey from loved and respected pillar of society, to petty criminal, to long-term prison inmate. He also just happens to be the parish vicar.
