Rat Tail (2021) - short film

Rat Tail explores Director Chad Sogas’ battle with depression in this short autobiographical documentary. What begins as a comedic look at the rat tail he had for nearly ten years (that his parents still keep in the storage room of their basement) transcends into a healing journey of self-discovery.

The film premiered at the Hot Docs International Film Festival (2021), and was featured as a Vimeo Staff Pick and Short of the Week.
