🐱 🚀 Meow or Never Dir. 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
