The furry fandom is a subculture and community centered around anthropomorphic animals - animals with human characteristics. This is a documentary about a creative and supportive community that celebrates the right to be oneself, both online and in the physical world.
Furries often face prejudice and stigmatization because their fan base mainly consists of adults who deviate from the norm, for example by being neurodiverse and queer. According to the research group International Anthropomorphic Research Project, a significantly larger proportion of furries have experienced bullying throughout their lives compared to non-furries. 65% of those asked said they have not told anyone in their family that they are furry.

There are generally many strong prejudices against the fandom, something we wish to help erase. Our understanding of the fandom is that it is based on a community, free from prejudice, with solidarity, inclusion, diversity, and the freedom to be oneself as core values. This is what we want to depict through our film.

The creators of the film are two students from the Film School in Kabelvåg, Nanna Hovedskov (b. 1995) and Kir Siegumfeldt (b. 1999). Kir has an artistic background that includes working as a director/screenwriter for short films, director for adult films, and assistant director on a documentary about queer families. He also has experience with production planning, camera work, and editing. His work explores themes such as queerness, stigmatization, identity, and sexuality.

Nanna is in her third year and has primarily worked as a director for fictional short films and a Danish youth series. She often explores themes around youth identity and mental vulnerability, with a tone that balances between humor and seriousness. Sound, song, and music often play a central role in her work. The project is one of two winners of the UiT scholarship scheme, a collaboration between UiT and the Festspiele in Northern Norway.
