bobby dogs Bobby Dogs Brooklawn Productions, a Fairfield Connecticut based independent film company has relied on small budgets and a big passion producing legitimate heartfelt, emotionally driven, humorous and humanistic films since 2004.

“For most of us, it’s a labor of love,” director T.K. Reilly states on the company’s website, “We are committed to producing quality, independent films that withstand the test of time, and we’ve enjoyed the support of many folks in our community.”

The majority of the onscreen talent found in Brooklawn’s productions is pooled locally from the Metropolitan and Fairfield County areas.

Following the release of their debut short film The Barbershop League, a comical family spoof about coaching in the “highly competitive” world of girl’s youth basketball in 2005, Brooklawn released their first full length feature, Bobby Dogs, in 2007. The film, directed by Reilly follows the story of Bobby Tucker, a down but not quite out hot-dog man struggling to sever the chain of alcohol addiction and reclaim control of his life. With little else but the comfort of knowing he can fall no further, Tucker relies upon the bonds of friendship, warmth of a newfound love and a dream to help him fight off the demons that threaten to return him to the bottle, and embrace sobriety for good.

The film debuted to much critical success at several film festivals, winning a 2008 Prism Film Festival Award for its accurate and sincere portrayal of the effects of substance abuse. Look for a powerful performance from actor Mike Boland in the title role, tight supporting contributions from Joshua Eaddy and Dawn McGee, as well as an original score by composer Rob Lynch that is at once heartbreaking and hopeful.

Currently, T.K. and the Brooklawn crew are filming their next full length feature, Local Warming in Fairfield, scheduled for completion and release in early 2010.

As always, Brooklawn reminds any actors in the areas surrounding Fairfield County interested in auditioning for future projects to sign on to their mailing list, and send in resumes.
