My project idea is about the cat, I named it: “Where am I going ?” My documentary is an activism and impact film about how international students treat their pets after they graduate. Adopting a pet is a kind behavior, however, for international students maybe not. International students are a group of people who are always homesick and feel alone. More and more of them choose to buy or adopt a pet to accompany them during their study year, however, how will they treat their pet after they graduate? My point is if you do not have enough ability to own a pet, do not make them have a “hard moment.” If you love them, you can go to shelter to be a volunteer to help take care of the animals. They are the responsibility, not the toy.
I got this idea because I adopted a kitten in my junior year, and after my graduation, for some reasons, I lost my cat. I feel bad about that and my cat. So, I do not want this kind of situation to happen on more pet’s lives. I thought the hardest thing to do the nonfiction film is access. Real people, real life, and real image. Access to interview the shelter and relate people is important. But I want to give my cat a good result in my film.
