After falling out years ago, Fifi, a guitarist poodle, has been invited to play at a venue with her old high school band— Punk’d Pooch. All is well until she reunites with her ex-friend and fellow guitar player, Tilly.
Director Bio:
Howdy! My name is Aberdeen; A Toronto-based artist with a soft spot for creating and designing characters, storyboarding, and animating. I love playing around with character dynamics through posing and facial expressions— lip-syncing is also very therapeutic for me. These dogs have it ruff, I tell you. If not drawing, you’ll likely find me playing video games, dancing in my room, or mauling my two cats with love and affection. Thanks for checking our film out, hooray!
