Dear Robot, Dear Kitty
2026
Animation, Short, Student
Synopsis
In her dying dream, bedridden Ann becomes a robot—but still cannot stop her beloved cat from falling again. She has long blamed her own sickly body for the cat's death, and the dream replays that helplessness on endless loop. When she startles awake, she finds the cat's spirit never left—it has been quietly keeping her company by the bedside all along. Ann finally reconciles with herself. In the spirit world, she and her cat are together forever.

The nonlinear dreamscape splinters trauma into fragmented pieces. The robotic body projects a psychological longing for health—rooted not in hope, but in guilt and self-reproach. This is a story about self-acceptance: love and companionship never departed. The only thing that ever trapped us was our own mind.
