Drama, Short Films, 29-Apr-2025
A lonely actress forms new relationships with her drug dealer (an aspiring poet), and a once cancelled podcaster with addiction issues. Jack Dunphy directs “Dot on Earth,” a dramedy contending with the creative aspirations and complex affections amongst a trio of young people living in Chicago. Dot (played by co-writer Colleen Rose) records a self-tape. The lines come out fine, but she doesn’t feel quite right in her own skin. Her day-to-day life is occupied with part-time work at a flower shop and bleak interactions with her low-life friend named Gus, who’s played by Dunphy himself. When Kris — a podcaster infused with a free spirit and substances — walks into the store one day, the two women spark an immediate connection. Despite the newfound excitement, Dot quickly faces turbulence: Gus ripples into disturbing territory while Kris searches for attention during an evening bender. The film bounces between bitter and sweet, a raw portrait carried by its committed performances. -JM. Director: Jack Dunphy Writers: Jack Dunphy & Colleen Rose Trundy.
