A lost pet catalyzes a neighborhood during the pandemic lockdown.
“35 Days” is an experimental, stop motion animation about what happens when a coalition of strangers answers the call to locate a missing cat during the COVID lockdown of 2020. Voicemail messages from neighbors reveal the empathy and core connection we have for, and with, our pets and each other, demonstrating how a virtual community can transcend the isolation of the pandemic. Animated using fabric cutouts and thread.
