    A Journey to Belong

    "A Journey to Belong" is a heartfelt short film about loneliness, connection, and friendship, along with the universal desire to find where we truly belong. Through breathtaking visuals, touching moments, and a story that speaks to the soul, this film reminds us that sometimes, the family we choose can mean more than family we've lost.

    This is the story of a lonely, sad, and lost bison, who was separated from his herd. As he searches for his family, he crosses paths with a very unlikely companion -- a wise and kind cat. Together, they crusade on a journey filled with hope, challenges, and love. Their connection and bond begins to grow stronger with every step. As they learn a true lesson about belonging.

    Join the bison and cat on their adventures -- and discover that even in our loneliest moments, we can all find connection.
