The Guardian
A little kitten is on his own in the pouring rain and cries in despair. An ominous, towering stranger approaches him and first impressions don’t exactly go perfectly. Will this figure teach him a lesson? Maybe not in the way that’d be expected…. This is my first short film since
Hide and Seek
This was my first animation.

Society likes to put people in a box, sticking labels on individuals that may have similar interests to these stereotypes but in truth everyone is their own individual person. The word
