Brief Explanation

“José´s Wi-Fi Dogs” tells the story of José and his Internet hunting dogs. Our main character, José, is a warm-hearted rascal and the head honcho of the operation. After years in the tourist industry, he realized that vacationers spent more time looking for Wi-Fi than sitting at the beach. Ever the entrepreneur, he thought he could use dogs to track down free Wi-Fi and, as he likes to say, start “the business of the century.” The film was inspired by a true human observation – our collective obsession with accessing Internet abroad. So instead of being an over-the-top parody or a caricature, we needed the world of Wi-Fi Dogs to feel naturally bizarre, authentic and funny without even trying. We wanted people to ask themselves: is this real? Is this guy really renting Internet sniffing dogs to tourists? That´s why we chose to write and shoot the film as a documentary, following José on a tour of his headquarters and meeting his loyal sidekick Santiago. We even witness a few Wi-Fi hunts – which end with rather wacky results – and introduced Deutsche Telekom’s Summer Pass product as the “moral” of the story.
