About the director: I am a female director and producer. I earned my bfa degree at the New York Film Academy in filmmaking and am currently pursuing my producing mfa degree at the New York Film Academy .
My purpose with “Lab Dog” is to bring awareness about the inhumane practices of animal testing which affects millions of animals every year.
I am hoping that with this film people will question the ethics of a practice that in today’s world could easily be replaced with safer methods which require no animal testings.
