Dags

Dags (1998)

"Dag" is an Australian term for filthy wool on the hindquarters of a sheep. It also is a slang term for an uncouth person. Therefore this film is a look at several uncouth individuals. The men are all beer drinkers and dopers who wear Hawaiian shirts, long socks, and sandals. The women are all in tank tops and hot pants and constantly after sex, but never enjoy it. One of the men gets a wild idea to get in the Guiness Book of Records by having one of his mates rob his video store every night. During one of these robberies, the robber "kidnaps" a customer and begins a romance. Meanwhile all of the other "dags" are sleeping with one another behind each other's backs.

Dags is a 1998 Australian comedy film centring on the adventures of a group of friends, directed, produced and written by Murray Fahey.

Production

Fahey wrote the film in three weeks, inspired by a desire to use talened actors he knew who were out of work:

I used all the places where I live and go shopping every day, and I wrestled with the changes that Australian society is going through. There is the older, traditional Australian dag and the newer, younger generation of dags. Then there are the ethnic dags. . . it’s a nice mixture of Aboriginal and Anglo dags . . .the older ones have stiffer barriers, but I wanted the kids to reveal themselves.

Fahey financed the film on credit cards and mortgaging his mother's house.

It was shot in nine and a half days using a house that acted as four locations in one. It movie was shot between Christmas and New Year. "This was the best time because I could get all the crew I needed and the cast were free," said Fahey.
