If you’ve met Mattie Do, she’s shown you photos of her dogs. If you’ve seen her movies, then you’ve seen her dogs act. Over the years, Mattie’s dogs have starred in a few good ghost stories that have screened at Venice’s Giornate degli Autori, Fantastic Fest, Sitges, TIFF, and Busan; Headlined project markets including Frontières’ selection for IFFAM’s inaugural Crouching Tigers; and garnered recognition as Laos’ first submission to the 90th Academy Awards. Mattie’s dogs live in Vientiane where they’re helping her develop the country’s film industry. Mattie also has two cats, but the little beasts refuses to take direction.
