Matthew Stelle’s life is slowly going down the drain; his artwork is failing, his addiction is worsening, and everything he thought he had under control is slowly slipping away. One night, on a drunken rendezvous, Matt discovers something that sends the spiral of his life spinning even faster.

In February 2016, Aden Lungstrom began production for Hair of the Dog. It was filmed in Minneapolis as well as in the town of New London, MN. With the help of his friends, Aden Lungstrom was able to release Hair of the Dog in January of 2017.

Lungstrom was inspired to write Hair of the Dog by the anxiety, fear, and life decisions he was facing at the time. He wanted to write a story about what happens when we let our fear and anxiety control our lives and ask the question, “Are we truly living when we attempt to control everything?” As a result, both the ending and premise of this story are meant to be bittersweet.

“Filming outside against the unpredictable elements was difficult. Some issues on set were caused by the spontaneous storms. We were not fully prepared for the rain at times, but it impacted the film for the better.” — Aden Lungstrom
