The Chihuahua Shake
Directed by Chase Olivera · United States · 14 min · short · animation
Experience this musical comedy about a famous Parisian dachshund who is tasked with painting a portrait of a crazy chihuahua who just won't stop shaking. Only a local band can help the chihuahua explain that there's more to his shake than meets the eye. This project is a completely original and fresh tale, made by an 18-year-old director, told with beautiful scenery, an enchanting score, and knee-slapping visual gags throughout.

From the director
Hello! I hope you enjoy "The Chihuahua Shake!" I worked for over a year on it and put in everything I had to make sure every second is filled with pure entertainment and fun. At 14 minutes, it may seem long for a short film, but every minute is earned and should leave the audience still wanting more.
