Ethan Eng | Canada, Ontario | 2022 | 83m

Ethan and his best friend Justin are students trying to make sense of their high school existence. In what will be the last chapter of their teenage lives and the beginning of adulthood beyond, they decide to make the ultimate senior video in the search for answers. Exploring teenage suburbia in a no-brakes adventure, questions arise whether there’s more to their lives than simply growing up.

Therapy Dogs was selected to premier at Slamdance Film Festival making Eng the youngest filmmaker ever to premier at this festival. Upon its release it also became a New York Times Critics Pick.

"'Therapy Dogs' is a sweet, chaotic, and inventive DIY movie about young people searching for authenticity. Part documentary and part fiction, the movie subverts both aesthetic and narrative clichés in its portrayal of male friendship and late adolescence." - Justine Smith, RogerEbert.com

"Ethan Eng’s powerhouse feature debut 'Therapy Dogs', is at once, a war cry, a manifesto, and an absolute jewel for those of us who love the energy and intensity of true indie filmmaking." - Alexandra Heller Nicholas, Alliance of Women Film Journalists
