02 June 2020

Keika Lee’s stunning animated short ‘Odd Dog’ focuses on unexpected friendships and acceptance has been selected for Los Angeles International Children's Film Festival

Keika Lee’s Odd Dog shares a story about a young boy who develops an unanticipated friendship with a dog-like cat. This quirky animation has already won three awards including the 2020 Children's Choice For Shorts All Ages Award at Bay Area International Children's Film Festival and it received an honourable mention for Best Animated Short at the 2020 Queen Palm International Film Festival. This film was scheduled to screen at the Los Angeles International Children's Film Festival but due to the coronavirus outbreak; this festival has been postponed.

A young boy pleads with his mother to get him a dog but his mother prefers a cat. Years later, the boy runs into what looks like a cat on the street. Can the cat win the boy over with his crazy dog-like antics and become the boy's "odd dog”?

Director Keika Lee is also the writer and producer of Odd Dog. Growing up, she dreamed of being an animator; creating stories and characters to share with children who also dream of being filmmakers. Lee believes and hopes that Odd Dog, which is a delightful 5-minute short about her son and their cat, will charm fans all over the world. Keika has always had a special place in her heart for animation.
