Meow or Never | A Musical Stop-Motion Following a Catstronaut’s Search for the Meaning of Life

In a madcap musical, a catstronaut travels around the galaxy in search of the meaning of life. On one planet, she meets a space pup who’d like to help her, but instead gets her involved in a chain of catastrophes that include smelling ’catnip-bis’ and meeting a tribe of marshmallows!

Neeraja Raj Depending on your outlook, upbringing and thoughts on religion, the meaning of life will have various interpretations. Purpose in our existence is something we’re all searching for and despite the diverse conclusions on how we should spend our time, many seem to agree that kindness, compassion and companionship is the best route to contentment. For the protagonist – a planet-hopping catstronaut – in Neeraja Raj’s energetic stop-motion musical, Meow or Never, she’s also on the hunt for meaning and as is often the case, she finds it in the most-unexpected of places. Describing her short as “a kooky amalgamation of my existential angst and my happy-go-lucky spirit”, Raj combined these qualities with a love for musicals to create a truly unique film - S/W Curator, Rob Munday FULL REVIEW: *CAST CREW* Director: Neeraja Raj Producer - Diana Pōdra Screenwriters - Vanessa Rose and Neeraja Raj Cinematographer - Nathalie Pitters Production Designer - Ann Kutzer Editor - Ed Coltman Composer - Cora Miron Sound Designer - Harry J.N.
