American Furry: Life, Liberty, and the Fursuit of Happiness.

submitted by winkler1

1 decade 6 years 7 months 3 weeks ago

Furries get no respect. Usually, when you hear about people who dress up like life-sized stuffed animals, it's in the context of an unfriendly internet joke, a sex gag on Entourage, or an insult that ends with "yiff in hell."
But Brooklyn-based filmmaker Marianne Shaneen has spent more than two years following these people around, capturing their lives in and out of their "fursonas." She's working on a documentary film called AMERICAN FURRY: Life, Liberty and the Fursuit of Happiness.

Today on Boing Boing tv, an exclusive peek at this feature in progress. Marianne provided us with access to some of her raw footage (she's accumulated 2+ years' worth!), and we selected clips, edited, added some audio, and produced the short glimpse you'll see here.

Did they have to act like a frikken hivemind when they were in a group? It was slightly creepy.

And to the guy who kept talking about "can't": no one said you can't, they just said you look like a douche.

kill it with fire. i really don't see much of a difference between a "furry" and someone with a bad case of bestiality.

ha, didn't think this would do so poorly..they aren't hurting anyone. It's pretty surreal/amusing I think.

Holy crap, QM is a furry

I don't think they are hurting anyone, but they have that same religious attitude that I should respect them for some reason. What have they done to deserve my respect? Whine about how hard life is for them? Give me a break. If furries weren't so vocal they wouldn't have this trouble in the first place. I guess they all come from the same demograph that led to emo, so go figure.

Discarding this video. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 4 days.
