Bulldog: A Short Film

British short film, Bulldog, opens with Aaron, a rough sleeper, checking his few possessions after spending a night in a cell. His fingers tattooed, his fingernails dirty. 

He walks alone through the less salubrious streets of Manchester to a thunderous percussive soundtrack and the sound of the city. A man intent on one mission. When he steals a hammer from a store, our sense of impending threat intensifies. 

We see Aaron washing in a public bathroom then, as a lone figure, staring out over a blurred cityscape – both scenes are swathed in tones of chilly blue, underlining Aaron’s isolation. A deafening grungy syth soundscape reaches a peak and he is ready to act to settle a score.
