PRISONER

Weekend dog sitting, reimagined as a hostage thriller. A very dramatic proof-of-life update for one small dog.

A fictional thriller poster titled PRISONER: Rob wears glasses and a shemagh, holding a sign reading "08 30 25 / Day 2 / Dog 1" above a small black dog, against dramatic blue and gold lighting.

About the work

I was dog sitting for the weekend. Naturally, the owners needed proof of life.

This AI-assisted poster turns an ordinary pet-sitting update into an absurdly dramatic hostage thriller. That’s me in the shemagh, holding the status report, with one small dog cast as the titular PRISONER. Stormy blue light, smoky gold, and an oversized movie title do their best to make “Day 2, Dog 1” feel like an international incident.

The image was part of the proof-of-life status updates I sent to the dog’s owners. A weekend favor became a miniature movie campaign. They’ll obviously think twice before asking me to pet sit again.
