Director Statement

The short film, CAT – CAT, was created as an experimental music video, using an original electronic music track and stop motion photography. Even in play, or perhaps mostly in play, I hope to explore feelings of friendship and love in this short film, featuring plush toy cat characters, and a real Ragdoll kitten named Finn.
