A short look at the life of a young autistic actor, this documentary investigates the effects isolation and the 2020 pandemic have had on her, using her cat to demonstrate that despite the circumstances, we can all reclaim unexpected joy in our lives if we put in the work and allow ourselves to discover the possibilities. The film was made over 3 days completely in quarantine with a 2-person crew and 1-person (and 1-cat cast). The subject of the film, Tal Anderson, is also the Writer, Director, Producer, and Editor of the film, and used archive footage and images of both her life and the life of her cat. Tal, who is also a successful professional actress, is also on the Autism spectrum.
