BEHIND-THE-SCENES

Featured on Entertainment Weekly’s What to Watch List of March 17 - 23

Appalachian Dog

"(...) the premise of Appalachian Dog is just as deceiving as its characters. As its simmering domestic drama is slowly infused with a morbid 'comedy' of uncomfortableness, the film provides the perfect framework for its modern take on the Southern Gothic subgenre."
- Matthew Roe, Film Threat

“Not only am I enchanted by this sultry, post-WWII, Southern Gothic delight, but by Colin himself who is already one of my favorite filmmakers of the next generation. He is articulate and thoughtful both in discussing the film and with the film itself. Every frame shows Colin’s care, thought, and purpose in the production and his performance.”
- Debbie Lynn Elias, Behind The Lens

“Layered with heartfelt performances, stunning cinematography, and quiet humor (…)”
- Chris Jones, Overly Honest Reviews

“Writer and director Colin Henning has done an amazing job of creating a story that pulls audiences in. What starts off as a slow burn, builds into a gripping, layered portrait of complex human experiences (…)”
- Nick Bailey, Black Texas Magazine

“The movie boasts a slate of talented actors. Each character is holding on to various secrets that affect the way that they interact with others, and that sense of guardedness mixed with extreme intimacy is difficult to achieve, but this cast pulls it off. There is longing, shame, secrecy, hope, and despair in each of these people, and the small cast is able to convey that well.”
- Alise Chaffins, The Dominion Post, MacGuffin or Meaning

"(...) Henning’s screenplay remains an absolute playground of tension. The writer/director is perhaps the best example of this in the leading role. With Teddy, it’s like watching a powder keg on screen, with the fuse already lit."
- Mark Lakatos, Take 2 Indie Review

“We can expect to hear more about the people associated with Appalachian Dog in the future, and it’s an encouraging prospect. For them, this is just the beginning.”
- Mark Burger, Yes! Weekly

“Every shot is a treat of composition, and the staging is considered heavily throughout, adding to the film’s dramatic elements.”
- J. Zimmerman, Video Librarian

“Colin Henning proves himself a capable director and actor, and Georgia Morgan delivers a standout performance in a film that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.”
-LGBT Daily

“(…) much of its power lies in how long Henning keeps his narrative pistol cocked. This isn’t a post-war thriller, but an intensely interior drama—one that lingers in the spaces between what’s left unsaid.”
-Richard Gray, The Reel Bits

“Appalachian Dog is a stunning debut release. While most indie filmmakers struggle to successfully produce an original, thematic and impactful story C.H. Squared has nailed the formula. This is definitely a production team to watch.”
-Virginia Schneider, The Hollywood Times
