The Three Dogs — Short Film Screening
The Three Dogs is a 23-minute short film created by Rodeo House. Written and directed by Seamus Carroll, a current DoCP resident, the film stars local Denver actors. It’s the story of three feuding roommates, two laced Xanax bars, and one burning question: “When have you ever heard of somebody shitting themselves to death?” Come mingle, watch the film, and enjoy a keg of Modelo.
