Director Statement

Dealing with my own tendencies as a people pleaser growing up, I wanted to explore through a horror monster of what that does to someone psychologically. You feel like you’re never good enough, that you are a kind of monster no one really trusts. And if left unattended, who knows what damage you might do?

FEED FIFI was inspired by the adoption of my rescue cat, Phoenix, who was so shy and evasive in the first few months of living with me, I just heard sounds like my house was haunted and had to hope, at some point, she would bond with me.

I was struck deeply by this limbo period of my life, where I relied on my senses to detect the little creature I had adopted-- sounds became our way of speaking to one another, and I became fascinated with her point of view, wondering what my own little demon saw of me while I lumbered through my house.

In the end, FEED FIFI explores two parts of ourselves that are easy to lose, our confidence and our sense of self. And without those things, what horrific thing might we become?
