Movie Reviews:
* « GentleDog is a talking dog short, and a very funny one… Smart, contemporary premise along with first-rate cast, direction, and production. The gentle dog’s real name is Fiona, and the talented Shadi, who wrote, produced and directed this gem, also performs Fiona’s deep-throat voice.» Kurt Brokaw / The Independent
