BITE THE HAND
Who are you being good for?
Sam and Dale love their dog Alice so much. When given the chance to give her the consciousness of a human – they jump at the opportunity. Under the careful assessment of model owner Wes and his obedient pet Rex, Alice’s intelligence blossoms. But as Alice begins to understand her existence, her place in the world becomes all too apparent.
Written by award-winning writer Chris Isaacs (York, Flood, THE GREAT RIDOLPHI, FAG/STAG) and directed by Matt Edgerton (Black Brass, My Robot, Fully Sikh) with a star-studded cast including Alicia Osyka, Amy Mathews, Arielle Gray, Jeffrey Jay Fowler and Michael Abercromby, BITE THE HAND is an off the leash comedic rollercoaster of emancipation, love, dependency and suppression.
