Ep186 - Tina Traster
Interview! Tina Traster, Award-winning Filmmaker, Writer, and Documentarian of "Catnip Nation"
"There are people taking care of community cats, but it begs the question: who is taking care of those people?"
Tina Traster is an award-winning journalist and filmmaker. Her written pieces have been featured in a multitude of publications, including a regular segment for the New York Post, and her films have won awards at film festivals across the globe. She has noticed a theme of rescue, caretaking, and advocacy in her last three projects—"This House Matters," a 30 minute documentary on historic preservation in the Hudson River Valley; her award-winning memoir Rescuing Julia Twice: A Mother's Tale of Russian Adoption and Overcoming Reactive Attachment Disorder; and her current project, "Catnip Nation," a series of vignettes about feral colony caretakers. Tina hopes that the film will spark a movement towards better, more consistent legislation surrounding community cats. Tina is currently trying to raise $6,000 for the completion of the project.
