Short Films: “Kelly” - 5 mins 53s
Director Joe Roberts mines every dog owner’s worst nightmare for laughs in this black comedy starring actor and comedian Maddy Anholt. She’s been entrusted with looking after the eponymous Kelly - the unluckiest Labrador in south-west London. Due to the negligence of Anholt’s hungover write-off, Kelly is - in the parlance of Monty Python - an ex-Labrador. Like a canine twist on ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’, the unnamed protagonist tries to salvage the situation with unexpected results. The payoff is both pathetic and hilarious, as a cameo by spoken word artist Scroobius Pip makes Kelly’s fate even more absurd. In Roberts’s twisted world, then, not every dog has its day.
