Little Dog —World Premiere
Short Film and Release
Nominated for Best Children Short Film of the Year – IndieX Film Festival
A story about instinct, abandonment, and the quiet bond that saves us.
"UNFLINCHING, EMOTIONAL, AND DEEPLY HUMAN."
Little Dog explores abandonment, protection, and the emotional instincts we inherit—and pass on. This is not a fairytale. It’s a quiet survival story told in glances, gestures, and the tension between fear and trust.
Shot with a poetic frame, Little Dog blurs the line between child and adult worlds, revealing how trauma echoes in both.

Whatever emotion you need, in every frame we built.
From composition to color, Little Dog maintains a precise visual language—quiet, restrained, and deeply human.

This is not just visual consistency.
It’s emotional continuity in motion.
Narrative • The Story
A story shaped by absence, stillness, and the things we never say.
Seven-year-old Sean, abandoned by his neglectful mother, meets Larry—a quiet stranger with a hidden past.
What begins as a chance encounter changes them both forever.
Told with restraint, built with intention. This is the world of Little Dog.



Narrative • Director's Note
Everyone carries trauma. Every child on earth, in some way or another.
What I wanted to capture in Little Dog was the exact moment trauma begins—
the brief instant that changes everything, forever.
Not the aftermath. Not the healing.
Just the moment it lands.
— Mario Luxxor

Atmosphere • The Soundtrack
The score of Little Dog was never meant to lead—it was meant to linger.
Composed by Sasikumar B., the music was built with silence in mind.
Every note was crafted to echo the unspoken heighten tension, and hold emotion where words fall short.
This is not a bakground music.
It's emotional architecture.
