There’s just no coming between a man and his dog, as the Netflix/Stage 13 new scripted series “It’s Bruno” attests. It’s the brainchild of Solvan “Slick” Naim, whose entry into filmmaking started with music. As a kid, whenever he would hear a song he loved, he would create characters and a narrative to go with it. Before he turned to filmmaking, he was pursuing a career in music as a rapper. In a way, it’s what makes Slick’s visual style so dynamic. “It’s Bruno” plays like vibrant, pulsing and visual beats surrounding the tight bond between a man and his dog.

As he began making independent films which segued into directing episodes for such popular shows as “Blacklist,” “Animal Kingdom,” “Power,” and “Snowfall,” he started to have dogs in his life – which was a new experience for him. He was working a lot from home so it was a joy to have company. He ended up adopting three rescue dogs, among them Bruno, a puggle mutt. One day while editing to some music, Slick turned around to see Bruno’s expressive face and started cracking up. This inspired him to recruit some friends to go shoot a proof of concept featuring Bruno and himself and their ridiculous adventures in their neighborhood of Bushwick (New York).

“It’s Bruno” is that story expanded into eight epiosdes, shot in Bushwick and featuring an amazing cast of actors fans have seen across networks, films and streaming platforms.

The series follows dog lover, Malcolm (Naim), his best friend and constant canine companion Bruno, and the hilarious things that take place on their vibrant Brooklyn block.
