Furball - Short Narrative - Canada

7/16/2021

 
Picture
​When self-centred feline, Furball, faces losing his owner’s attention, he takes matters into his own paws and learns that, while relationships may change, the love remains, no matter what the species.

A graduate of York University's Film and Video program,  Jason Rogerson is the winner of the L.M. Montgomery PEI Writing for Children Award for his short story, Thalia, Jason was granted one of PEI’s inaugural Film 4Ward awards for his short film, Furball. He currently has several films in development, including Boxcar Dan and the Vagabond Strangers, which was awarded the PEI Screenwriters’ Bootcamp – Pitch For Your Life award in 2018.

Director Jason Rogerson
​Director Statement
With Furball, I wanted to create a quirky short that explores the many ways in which we connect (or struggle to). Whether we're yearning for a relationship, possessive of one, or lucky enough to be in a healthy one, it seems we all share one thing - a fear of the unknown. Furball is about taking risks, letting go of our fears and egos, and discovering something better than we could have ever imagined, no matter what our species.
AniFab judge's aggregate score for Furball is 8 out of 10 with one judge writing, "I can't stop smiling! Furball had me amused and enthralled from the start! I actually thought the description being spoken at the beginning could have been of Furball or his human. As the story unfolded this story had me chuckling out loud - loved it!"
