Charlie Chicken, Canine Artist - An Affection Look At Dogs, Life And Art In New York City

Charlie Chicken is a world-renowned canine artist. Originally from Puerto Rico, he works out of Brooklyn, New York, where his art has been featured in MOMA, the Louvre, and the Getty. This is his story.

He describes some of his approach:

“The film was fun to make – it was an idea Lily and I had floating in our heads for a while. So many short doc portraits of artists that take themselves very seriously. Not this one. No way. Wait, maybe a little.

On making the film – we shot following the principles of Dogma ’95. All natural light. All handheld. Lars Von Trier is really excited and put his name on as executive producer due to the subject matter and verified on set that we followed each step.”
