This video essay was written, edited, and narrated by Tyler Knudsen.

The interactivity of this video is a little bit different than my last one. This video contains one supplemental video and two side videos. The side videos are stand-alone videos that are related to this video. They expand upon the information and analysis of Dog Day Afternoon and will be published themselves one week after this video is published.

I have been making short videos for IndieWire’s Press Play section. If you would like to see them, they are on my website: http://cinematyler.com/category/indie...
