Cat Scratch
Project Overview
I’m seeking people to help bring my characters to life in my upcoming animated short film. Cat Scratch. This project is part of my senior thesis for school, where I’m working towards creating a meaningful positive impact on my community.
Cat Scratch explores the impact of domestic violence and aims to show that it can happen to anyone, regardless of their background. Your voices will be a key part of conveying the emotional depth and authenticity of the characters, guaranteeing that this project connects with audiences deeply.
This animated short film tells the story of Florah, a young woman reflecting on her time with Louis, her abusive boyfriend. Through her eyes, we explore the emotional toll of their relationship and how it deeply impacted her life

Not much is known about her but when she speaks she sounds concerned with a mix of relief. In my head, she sounds like an older Nani from Lilo and Stich.

WOMAN ONE (Annoyed/Kind of Sassy) I can't believe I put up with that for so long. He's like a vampire I swear. Always sucking the Life out of you.
