And here's Texas Media Maker Editor In Chief Gabriel Ponniah's Full Review:
It can be difficult, growing up in today’s geopolitical “West,” to think of one’s self as anything other than an individual being, struggling to survive in a world markedly distinct from (and not altogether kind towards) our own life. But life, in fact, can be viewed through a fundamentally different lens. A swath of Eastern traditions, and thinkers working within them, have long championed a worldview which sees all life—the entire universe—as but one singular organism with many facets. Elements of this idea inform Eastern religious practices in Buddhist or Jainist customs, for example, but they were hardly exclusive to the continent of Asia. Nearly three centuries before the common era, the Greek philosopher Zeno, founder of the Stoic school of thought, declared “All things are parts of one single system, which is called Nature; the individual life is good when it is in harmony with Nature.”

If nothing else, what sets humans apart from nature is the extent to which they utilize the latter in service of the former. Whether working the land for agriculture or domesticating species purely for companion purposes, we’re able to weave wildlife into the very fabric of our lives. When my twin sister and I left home for college, my parents were, at once, empty nesters. To account for this sudden emptiness in the house, we were replaced with a dog—something to ease the transition from one phase of life to the next. Dogs are good in that way, eager to please. Róise & Frank takes this idea and runs with it, along the way exploring ideas about love, loss, reincarnation...and hurling. Read the entire review by Texas Screen Scene's Gabriel Ponniah here:

"Participating in the Animalis Fabula Film Festival, aka #AniFab was like spending time with good friends. From the month's lead-up, to the three day event itself, festival director Tom McPhee's infectious enthusiasm in seeking to unite such a large and diverse group of film professionals together as a community was truly inspiring." The Conservation Game Team
"Animalis Fabula translates to animal story in Latin. If you have a film involving animals, this is a MUST fest to submit. Tom and his team are wonderful and passionate about what they do. They go out of their way to make filmmakers feel special. My film screened in person in a pandemic year which is challenging. But what a fun and powerful experience I had, being with like-minded compassionate people. I love details like my trailer playing in the theater lobby, festival signage and schedules in the hosting hotel, a dog in costume in the lobby and a guy in a bear suit. I would like to see this fest grow and get the attention it deserves. Again, a must if you have an animal film. And if you like a film festival that feels like camp, this is it! I made great new friends here." Mye Hoang, Award-Winning Director of Cat Daddies
