Cranberry

Screen Shot 2020-01-09 at 9.52.24 AM.png

The best last adventure of two estranged siblings

and one dying pug.

Cranberry is a film about a pug who has only a few days left to live. His owner Boden decides to reunite with his sister to check off the last item on Cranberry’s bucket list. While the topic can be heavy we have decided to take a different approach which will leave audiences with a few chuckles and a feel good mentality.
