Feline Fables: 3AM
Did someone say Caturday?! In this installment of our silly shorts about cooped-up cats, Addie and Vic keep the party going through the night. Please enjoy Feline Fables: 3AM!
Shout-out to Kelsey Rauber for her music composition and Matt Gershowitz for his post-production work!
Due to our production plans for 2020 being derailed by COVID-19, our founder Christina Raia had the idea to keep creativity going even while quarantined by making shorts starring her cats Addie & Vic. Feline Fables, silly shorts about cooped up cats! Each story will star Addie and/or Vic, with cameos from other team members’ pets and some of our human collaborators too. We’ll be releasing one installment per month for as long as we can imagine our furry companions in fun scenarios.
