$5 Night – My Barking Dog

By Eric Coble

Directed by Michael Michetti

What do we do when nature returns to claim the turf we usurped? Two reclusive apartment dwellers’ unfulfilled lives take a turn for the bizarre when a starving coyote begins to frequent their fire escape. This brush with wildlife incites them to embrace their animal instincts as they bond with their untamed visitor. By turns highly poetic, exotic, and dangerous, Eric Coble creates a riotous, riveting exploration of the lengths to which our everyday lives have disconnected us from nature, and what happens when the wild life insists on encroaching on the city and challenging our human boundaries.
