Shedding

A little film with a big heart and an important message. Shot on a iPhone, this film goes to prove that it is much more important to have ideas and to tell well a universal story. Well done to all involved.

Shedding is a really engaging and artistically directed film. I'm not a "cat person" per se, but even I enjoyed the mysterious journey of a cat who wants to get outside - and has a unique adventure! Put it on when you need something heartwarming and whimsical.

Wow!!!! Loved this! A subtle story, yet the power of it sneaks up on you! The animal shots are playful yet purposeful. The transformation that occurs in Panda becoming human is amazing! The lead human actor did an astonishing job of becoming a cat in every way! Kuddos to him!! SHEDDING is the kind of film that I will watch again and probably soon. There are layers to it, and it allows us to unpeel ( or should I say shed) some of ours.

Who hasn't wondered what a cat is thinking, but to reverse that and watch a cat wonder what a human is experiencing, and then go on a journey of curiosity, compassion, and determination; what a gift, to shed my own normal human expectations and find new layers of human experience through the eyes of a cat. This was a special film.

I've been a cat lover my entire life and honestly haven't felt truly "seen" by an animal movie before now. SHEDDING goes so much deeper than cute cat moments. It doesn't rely on it's gimmick or get corny. It is an authentic expression of what life would truly be like for a cat to become a human and the beautiful thing about it is that it ends up exploring the nuances of the human experience with depth and quiet absurdity. It's as if someone made an awards-season-movie for cat lovers. It's such a highly original film and it trusts its audience with an intentional and meditative pace. I cried watching it. I was so genuinely moved by this small indie production.
