WUURM (2023) - Short Film
Award-winning short film; WUURM was created through a mutual love of disgusting b-movie sludge and British sitcom-humour, between two lifelong friends who used to trade video nasties at the back of the school bus.
Co-Produced, directed and shot by Dogbrain Videos, this short dark comedy film blends the B-Movie classics you love with 90's British sit-com humour...because why not?
Now available to watch for FREE on YouTube, after doing the rounds on the international film festival circuit and snagging itself some awards. Stay tuned for our next project!

SYNOPSIS:
On a dark and stormy UK night, BARRY WIGGLE, a sad, pathetic man living with his Mother has locked himself in his bathroom as he battles a squelching bout of painful stomach cramps.
As he tries desperately to convince himself that his stomach issues are just gas, deep down he knows that with every twist, squirm and squelch that his problems stem from one source: THE WUURM.
Somewhere, somehow, poor Barry has picked up a narcissistic, sentient parasite whose only goal is to gaslight Barry, and spend the rest of its life tormenting him from within.
As the WUURM’s voice grows louder in Barry’s head, the more persuasive his words become. With Barry's past week of toilet breaks told in a slew of short, comedic flashback sequences, all that’s left for him to do is expel the parasite and engage in a fast-paced, battle to the death!

Welcome to the Official YouTube Channel of DOGBRAIN VIDEOS! 🎬
Dogbrain Videos are a UK-based video production company producing short films, music videos and promotional content.
We're directly influenced by retro Sci-Fi & horror cinema and love to work with people who get as excited about those influences as we do. One day, our lead director woke up with a dog for a head, so he's now making comedy VLOGS and YouTube content as of November 2022, so prepare to be influenced!!
Stay tuned for new videos that take us around the world to explore some random things, life hacks and questionable lifestyle choices.
🐶 ➡️ So you've found your way to my seedy corner of Youtube eh? Well good for you. Life's too short to be watching motivational TED talks all day, so why not kick back with a beer and absorb some knowledge from Dogbrain himself? It's nice making music videos and short films, but between shaking labels down for invoice payments, making some good old fashioned 'content' has become a joy of mine.
Anyway, best get back to eating mi' pigs ears. Have a poke around my channel if you fancy watching some comedy vlogs and also some other random s**t like showreels and that.
By the way, we purchased/acquired this channel from some bloke on Facebook marketplace who did a bit of drunk VR streaming during lockdown, which is still all up on the "live section" of the channel as part of the contract (mainly out of pity, really). So take a watch of that if you like a bit o' gaming.
