Black Dog is the debut feature film from two of Screen’s 2022 Stars of Tomorrow. While on a road trip North, two very different London teenagers must learn to deal with how traumatic events have shaped their young lives. Inspired by writer-director George Jaques’ and writer-actor Jamie Flatters’ childhoods and lived experience, Black Dog is billed as a highly personal road movie about grief, love, sexuality and friendship.
