A Film For A Dog Who Cannot Be Told How Much He Mattered

Every photo you have of them, made into something you can actually watch. Pet memorials and birthdays. From ₹299.

A Film For A Dog Who Cannot Be Told How Much He Mattered

You have somewhere between four hundred and four thousand photographs of your dog.

You know the exact number is absurd. You also know you'd take more.


Part one: while they're here

Nobody needs a reason to make something about their pet, but there are a few good ones - a first Gotcha Day, a birthday, the year they turned eight and you started noticing the grey around the mouth.

N° 04 · Memory Film - ₹2,999

Every photo and clip you have, cut into an actual short film. Not a phone slideshow with a filter - paced, scored, edited.

The reason to do this now rather than later is straightforward and slightly uncomfortable: you will want it later, and later you will be in no condition to sit and sort four thousand photographs.

N° 04 · Memory Film - ₹2,999. Teaser in 24 hours, film in 2-3 days.

N° 01 · Living Portrait - ₹299

One photograph, brought to life. The good one - the one that's already your lock screen.

N° 01 · Living Portrait - ₹299.


Part two: after

This section is for people who have lost a pet, and it's written differently because it should be.

The grief is not disproportionate

Somebody has probably already implied it was. That it's been a few weeks. That you could get another one.

You spent every day for ten or fourteen years with an animal who was in the room for your entire twenties - every bad night, every flat you moved into, every relationship that started and ended. Nobody else in your life had that attendance record. The grief is proportionate to that, and the people telling you otherwise are working from a much smaller relationship than the one you had.

What we can actually do

N° 01 · Living Portrait - ₹299. One photograph, given movement. For a lot of people this is the only moving image of their pet that will ever exist, and for pets that died before smartphone video, it's the only one possible.

N° 04 · Memory Film - ₹2,999. The whole thing - every photo, the clips, the story - made into something you can watch, once, and then not have to sort through four thousand images again.

We won't pretend either of these fixes anything. What they do is make the memory retrievable instead of scattered across a phone you're avoiding opening.

If it's for someone else

If your friend has lost a pet and you don't know what to send - this is a better answer than flowers, and considerably better than saying nothing because you were worried about saying the wrong thing.

You'll need photos, which means asking their partner or their sibling quietly rather than asking them.


When to do it

For a memorial, most people find the first few weeks too raw and somewhere around the first month or the first anniversary right. There's no correct timing and anyone who tells you there is hasn't done it.

Message us whenever. There's no expiry on this and we won't chase you.


Practically

WhatsApp us. Send whatever you have - photos, videos, voice notes of them barking, anything. Photos are optional but for this one you'll want them.

Photos storage hain. Stories memories hain.
