Most of the time, when it comes to indie movies, I sigh when I watch the trailer. Now and then, something interesting pops up, like Dawn of the Dogman. Here is the trailer.
I didn’t read the press release, and I thought it was going to be an indie movie, not a documentary. Seeing that Dawn of the Dogman is a documentary, I kind of fancy seeing it.
The rest of the information is from the press release. Massillon, OH – For decades the story of the Michigan Dogman has been retold through song, urban legend and internet sensation, while the truth lay behind a smokescreen of speculation and what-ifs. Now, documentarian Seth Breedlove and Small Town Monsters go beyond the rumours to meet the researchers and journalists who first chronicled the legend, and the witnesses who continue to cross paths with the impossible creature.
Since the late 1980s, the sightings have continued, leading many to ask if the Michigan Dogman is more than just a story. Dawn of the Dogman will launch exclusively on streaming platforms, including Apple TV, Prime Video and Google Play, on December 9, 2025.
Dawn of the Dogman premieres in conjunction with Small Town Monsters’ tenth anniversary of explorations into cryptid lore. Filmed amongst the shadowed forests of Michigan, Dawn of the Dogman gets closer to the heart of the story than any attempt before it.
About the movie maker
The documentary centres on the personal account of author and researcher Linda Godfrey, who first brought the legend into the public eye, and serves as a successor to the 2018 film The Bray Road Beast. Dawn of the Dogman is directed by Seth Breedlove, whose previous work includes The Mothman of Point Pleasant, On the Trail of Bigfoot, American Werewolves and over two dozen other full-length productions.
Dawn of the Dogman was made possible by the backers of the 2025 Small Town Monsters Kickstarter campaign. The next Small Town Monsters Kickstarter launches in February 2026, and will offer a whole new slate of films, books, episodic series and rewards available only to backers.
