Dane McCusker.

Writer and director Dane McCusker joins the latest episode of the Cinema Australia Podcast to discuss his new film, The Big Dog.

The Big Dog follows 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, Richard must try and recover the $76,000 without his wife discovering his secret life.

Dane McCusker is a writer, producer and director of award-winning content across multiple mediums. Originally hailing from Bathurst, NSW, he moved to Sydney in 2009 to participate in the Australia Film Television and Radio School. With a film debut as good as The Big Dog is, Dane is certainly a filmmaker to keep an eye on.

There is a moment during this interview where we discuss two of Dane’s previous short films, Angelfish and The Complex. We’ve embedded them below for you to watch.
