FINDING BEAST

A short film by Olivia Accardo
2022. 17 min. Documentary.

While Olivia’s parents prepare to sell their NJ home and relocate to Florida, Olivia puts her life in LA on hold to embark upon an important mission – she must rescue the ghost of her childhood cat from her family’s home before it’s too late.

Olivia was born and raised in a lakeside house in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, as was her childhood cat and confidant, Beast. Olivia and Beast shared a very intense human-to-cat bond growing up, and spiritual connection to this day. Although Beast died of old age in 2007, Olivia's family claims a fluffy champagne colored cat still haunts the rooms of their home. Olivia feels it is her duty to contact Beast in an attempt to help him finally “move on” before her parents sell the house and leave New Jersey for good. Thankfully with the professional assistance of world renowned pet psychic, Barbara Mackey, this all is quite possible.
