Catsnake: The Story Agency

01/10/2025

Our TV advert for RNIB launches today, and we’re very proud of it.

It was an honour to spend time with people who generously shared their experiences of sight loss with us. Their stories shaped every part of this piece.

We’re also delighted that Dame Judi Dench lent her voice to the film.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring it to life. We’re looking forward to hearing what you think.

We're looking to speak to someone special for a new short film

Do you (ideally) live in East London?� Are you Hindu?� Do you have a home shrine or space for prayer?

We're working on a film that explores how different people experience faith in everyday life. �It’s not about being a "perfect" anything.� It’s about personal perspectives, lived experiences, and what faith means to you.

If this sounds like you (or someone you know) I’d love to hear from you.�We’re especially keen to speak with people who are open to sharing a little about their space and their story, in their own words. We need someone on Tuesday afternoon/early evening.

Please feel free to message me directly or tag someone below.�Thank you.

Please email [email protected] if you're interested in being involved.

🏆

We won the International Impact People's Choice Award at the Smiley Charity Film Awards! 🎬🎉🏆

The Smiley Charity Film Awards is the world’s largest cause-based film festival, which platforms charity films and gives recognition to incredible causes.

Last week, FOUR PAWS and Catsnake: The Story Agency's animated film , featuring Sunny the little Merino lamb has been recognised for its impactful message on cruel live lamb cutting in Australia 🐑✨.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who was a part of the creation process – as well as the incredibly talented Sir Stephen Fry, Scott Evans, and Danielle MacDonald who lent their voices to our cause.

But most of all, a massive thank you to all of you who watched, shared, and enjoyed the film, and who took the time to vote for us. Our community is full of incredibly passionate animal champions, and we are so grateful for the support you show to our work and our cause ❤️.

We’re beyond grateful for this recognition, as we hope our film would bring attention to fashion’s worst secret – live lamb cutting.

For too long, our Merino lambs suffer through this mutilation when there are alternative methods to prevent fly infestation (flystrike), without causing animals severe pain, fear and stress. 💔

It is time to !

If you haven’t seen the ⭐️award-winning⭐️ animation, watch it now and be part of our campaign to ➡️ fpau.org/be-their-voice.

Very happy to say that we won the People’s Choice Award at the Smiley Awards for our work with FOUR PAWS on the film ‘Be Their Voice’.

Every childhood needs magic, no matter how short it might be. ✨

Our new film made in collaboration with Together for Short Lives and Heard aims to transform the way people think about children’s palliative care.

Narrated by Dr Ranj Singh, the film follows four children supported by NHS and children’s hospice professionals from Noah's Ark Children's Hospice, Jessie May and Little Havens at Havens Hospices.

The film shows how with the right care, the children find magic and joy in the everyday moments with carers and loved ones. 💜

Working on this project was deeply moving, and we are so proud to see the film out in the world, helping to shift public understanding of what children’s palliative care is, and how essential it is for children and their families.

Please check out the film and consider sharing: https://youtu.be/fX3clFVZFa4?si=wrTm4uBo9_8cIDoD

What if we could talk to animals?

Our latest collaboration with FOUR PAWS imagines just that.

Created using 3D stop-motion animation, the campaign film tells the story of Jesse, a dedicated PhD student, and Sunny, a curious merino lamb who connect with the help of a ‘sheep-human translator’.🎙️🐑

We’re incredibly proud of the final film, and how it shines a light on an unnecessary practice that needs to end.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s played a part in bringing this story to life, including Danielle Macdonald, Scott Evans, and Stephen Fry who lent their voices to this important project! 🤝
