A Purrfect Project
Montecito filmmaker Daniel DeVorzon, son of Oscar nominee Barry DeVorzon and his wife Jelinda, has found the purrfect project.
Daniel, who is also the producer and composer, has made Nine Lives about the connection between one free spirited cat and the humans who love her.
Despite a perilous start in life as a feral feline surviving in Utah, the cat had the good sense to find its way to Montecito.
“Alice began by wandering into neighbor’s houses,” says Daniel. “Many fell in love with her and gave her unique names like Snowpea, Daisy, and Butterscotch Swirl.”
Through interviews, cell phone footage and photos captured by those interviewed, Nine Lives illustrates how the cat impacted their lives and teaches profound lessons about love, resilience and the transformative power of unexpected connections.
The nearly nine-minute film is part of the current Santa Barbara International Film Festival and is showing at the Metro 4 alongside four other local films in. the Santa Barbara Documentary Shorts category.
