A TIRED DOG IS A GOOD DOG, PART ONE is an on-going, experimental film and multimedia project that investigates family, survival and discipline through human and canine behavior. Collaborating with his Collie-breeding parents and their dogs, and the puppy play kink community, Lax explores the rituals by which humans tame and use animals to mitigate disaster and themselves.
