Director statement
The words such as animal, animalism, animalistic are outwardly atrocious in essence. Never heard about a clan of ‘animals’ colluded against another one but sapiens do. Unlike humans, they kill to consume and mate consensually! 

The short fiction titled 'Project Bau' is purely inspired by the bonding between myself and our adorable puppy 'Milo'. He runs to me promptly with a hue of anxiety on his face every time when I sneeze or cough. Felt so simple or stupid? but that's the very spark! No doubt, dogs are our best friends, especially in isolation and separateness. They expect nothing in return but our mere presence.

The AniFab screening team thoroughly enjoyed Project Bau, and we found it to be a moving portrait of the transformative powers that others, including other species, can have on the health and wellbeing of people.

The AniFab screening team scored Project Bau an 8.2 out of a possible 10, with one judge commenting, "A Solid Movie!"

Project Bau is in the running for monthly, annual AniFab Awards.
