Bitches and Dogs
by Lindsay Stidham and Dayyanah Goutier-Coleman
Bitches and Dogs tells the tale of Veronica and Maxine, two adopted sisters, one with an unquenchable entrepreneurial spirit; the other with the heart of a dog---loyal to a fault. Together the sisters are the proud owners of a business, and a whole boatload of insecurity. Luckily, they're not alone, as each client tends to have even more personal baggage than the last.
Lindsay and Dayyanah met at an improv class at the University of Florida seven years ago, and have been involved in comedy ever since. Lindsay recently earned her MFA in screenwriting from the American Film Institute, and wrote and produced upcoming feature film SPOONER, starring Matthew Lillard. Dayannah is a classically trained pianist who runs her own music school. Both women can be seen performing improv and comedy in Los Angeles, and searching for those awkward moments between two humans that make us laugh.

Boring.
Conceptually, this could be great. It's incredibly offensive and I like that. The idea alone, partnered with the fact that it's the creation of two female comedians makes this an intriguing satire of gender roles and sexual dynamics.
But as the bio states, these are improv actors, not film makers. The execution is pretty sloppy and the jokes kind of fall flat. Really feels like I'm just watching friends messing around together with a camera. What could be something along the lines of a Kids in the Hall or Upright Citizens Brigade skit feels more like something you'd find on MadTV.
i like it. gotta get lillard for the series, though, cause i've seen scooby doo so i know what he can do.
It's not clear whether we're meant to laugh or find the blonde's situation pathetic. The comic potential of the black sister who hates dogs goes undeveloped.
Oh boy -- this was a bad short - bad short, bad short! and oh boy this was a boring short, boring short, boring short, boring short!
Just not funny. Sorry. NO Potential
Even though I'm not sure I get it, it could be on the road to individuality.
Charming, funny, and clever. I'd love to see more.
Very funny. Really enjoyed the characters.
