The Brown Dog

WeTransfer presents "The Brown Dog", an animated short film starring the late Michael K. Williams (The Wire, Boardwalk Empire) and actor Steve Buscemi. The film is directed by Nadia Hallgren and Jamie-James Medina and executive produced by Steve Buscemi, Idris Elba and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Night after night, a watchman clocks into his lonely booth and spends hours composing endless security logs to stay awake, as he slowly descends into darkness.

His character, only referred to as “NOBODY” is confined to a security booth in an empty parking lot and is voiced by Michael K Williams in what became his final performance.

The short picked up its Oscars qualification by winning the grand prize for animated short at the Indianapolis Indy Shorts International Film Festival.

Commissioned by WePresent, the Academy Award-winning arts platform of WeTransfer.
