About the film

As a kitten, she knew what it felt like to be loved, but then that was all taken away. Forced to live a cold and lonely existence in the wild, she grows to believe she is unlovable. Once a Kitten is my heartbreaking entry for the Higgsfield Global Film Festival 2026. It is a 17-minute touching redemption story about a cat forced to do terrible things to survive after being abandoned in a field. Filled with shame and guilt, the cat grows to believe she is beyond redemption and undeserving of love. But when a stray dog begins terrorizing the local animals, she is the only one who can do anything about it. Will she remember the compassion she once had as a kitten? Told in a striking, vintage stop-motion style, this is an emotional exploration of guilt, self-worth, and whether love really is conditional. This story is for anyone who has ever struggled with low self-worth or ever felt unlovable. The initial reference visuals were created using Nano Banana. The video was generated wi
