Following its world premiere in Portsmouth in 2024, the highly anticipated documentary film ‘We Shelter Here Sometimes‘ is set to be available for download from My Dog Sigh‘s official website on March 9, 2025.
Filmed and directed by Paul Gonella of Strong Island Media, this intimate, up-close-and-personal documentary follows the internationally acclaimed British street artist known only by the moniker My Dog Sighs as he embarks on his most ambitious project yet. In We Shelter Here Sometimes, the artist seeks an opportunity to bring the outside world of street art into a space that he could totally control. He finds a beautiful abandoned ballroom which he seeks to transform into a vast, immersive installation with a powerful message.
When My Dog Sighs begins the project, his goal is clear: create a utopian society of Quiet Little Voices, sculptures representing various facets of the human experience. Initially, he expects the work to take six months, with a modest budget, but unforeseen challenges – including the Covid lockdowns, break-ins, a financial crisis, and even a fire – threaten to derail everything.
Through highs and lows, ‘We Shelter Here Sometimes‘ documents the relentless trials the artist faces as he works tirelessly against a seemingly never-ending set of obstacles to bring his vision to life. As My Dog Sighs moves into sculpture for the first time, the film explores not only the artist’s creative process but also the profound impact of art and community. Will he be able to open the doors to the public? Will anyone discover the beauty of this forgotten space and witness the power of creativity to uplift and inspire?
We Shelter Here Sometimes asks the ultimate question: Can dogged determination defy the odds?
