Julian Garner in The Big Dog.

Following sold out screenings at the 2023 Sydney Film Festival, Pivot Pictures has announced the cinema release of the hilarious and chaotic Australian comedy, The Big Dog for a limited season from Thursday, November 9.

An intelligent yet cheeky comedy from recent AFTRS masters graduate and up and coming talent to watch Dane McCusker, The Big Dog centres on Richard Morgan, a stockbroker, suburban family man – and secret findom addict.

On the morning of his son’s graduation party, Richard discovers his dominatrix has cleaned out all of his bank accounts including the money for the graduation present – a new car. Now over the course of one Saturday, he must try and recover the money without his wife discovering his secret life. 

Julian Garner (Top End Wedding) stars in a superb performance as stockbroker Richard Morgan, and Felicity Price (Wish You Were Here) plays his unsuspecting wife Kelly. Michael Monk stars as son Sam and Asha Boswarva as the findom worker and struggling psychology student with good intentions.

Following the ultimate demise of Richard’s all too familiar character, The Big Dog is a well crafted, incredibly funny slapstick comedy reflective of The White Lotus and Death at a Funeral.

With a ferocious sense of humour, great performances, and a playful sting in its tale, The Big Dog is the fresh Australian comedy the country has been waiting for.
