This short is full of surprises. It's easy to be deceived at the start into thinking this was going to be a fairly predictable story of our lead being repeatedly dejected by their seemingly unaccepting workmates in an attempt to hit the audience over the head with "a message". But it didn't go that way at all. First, we get a film within a film - a funny, well-acted infomercial. This leads our feline friend into some astral travel. We get clever songs (this is also a musical!) and we get an ending where everyone just gets on with the mahi - with zero fuss. In general, consistently shot, effectively edited and a solid, humorous story arc is achieved.

One of the better films from this region. Great job!

In a job where coworkers casually tell each other that their job is one where bros need stamina, the seeds of self doubt to reveal their authentic self for a transitioning hard worker were presented really well by this team. That things went absolutely wild at the end with David Bowi- inspired astral planes and a shitting cat most definitely elevated the short.

The film was well paced and whilst the first 3/4 of the film were a little bit flat cinematically, lighting and framing was good and the script was allowed to breathe. Good humour and a pleasantly surprising ending.

Story: 3/5

lol. This was so random. Bit of everything in here. Really clean looking shots. Sound was good. Well done. Probably win the music award in Gizzy. Might even runner up Gizzy.

Good luck.
