Production Note
'Feline' is the first feature-length film to be produced by a team of National Film and Television School students for their graduation piece. Despite being constrained by the same limits of time and money as the other seven short film projects that were produced by NFTS graduation students at the school that year, the 'Feline' team used those same resources to create a 75-minute feature film.
