Director Statement

ᵗʳᵃˢʰ ᶜᵃᵗˢ is a developing series about a group of townies struggling to change their hedonistic ways in the underbelly of a seemingly-picturesque college town. This hand-made, cut-paper stop-motion animated series is animated in Los Angeles & created in part by filmmakers & artists spanning across timezones and borders - each episode is loosely based on dumb stuff that happened in college during the mid 2010s.
