TRASH CATS
PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS
"When hunting ghosts is the only way to pay rent"




Trash Cats: Paranormal Investigations is an animated short written, directed, and animated by Matt Gaines. After being fired for their unspeakable acts at a minimum-wage pizza job, a group of four roommates are left jobless with an apartment to pay rent. When browsing an online forum in search of a new career path, the four stumble upon a seemingly satirical post looking for paranormal investigators. However, irony quickly shifts into sincerity when these non-believers are plunged into a world of ghosts, demons, and entities of all types lurking just around every corner. From possessions to hauntings, there is rarely a dull moment when these under-amateur paranormal investigators are involved.
​
Trash Cats: Paranormal Investigations released to the film circuit in May and acts as Georgia Southern University's first ever 2D animated Multi-Media Film Production capstone.
Trash Cats is made possible with Toonboom Harmony Advance 23, Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro, Clip Studio Paint, FireAlpacca, Audition, Photoshop, and Audacity.
