Committee Animal is a whimsical short narrative film by Robert Redfield that imagines a world where nature’s oddest creatures—like platypuses, penguins, and armadillos—weren’t shaped by evolution, but by a dysfunctional design committee. The film blends humor with subtle advocacy, using satire to rekindle appreciation for Earth’s land animals while complementing more serious wildlife documentaries. Committee Animal's director/co-writer Robert Redfield chats more about the film in this interview. The film short will be making its world premiere at the upcoming L.A. Shorts International Film Festival on July 20th.
