Hi /r/movies, I’m Will Braden, founder and curator of CatVideoFest! Every year I watch around 15,000 cat videos in order to find the best ones to showcase in a family-friendly reel that plays in theaters everywhere. Every ticket sold helps cats in need at local shelters. Ask me anything!

Hi Reddit, I'm Will Braden, founder and curator of CatVideoFest! Every year I watch around 15,000 cat videos in order to find the best ones to showcase in a family-friendly reel that plays in theaters everywhere. Every ticket sold helps local shelters, and we’ve raised over $200k for cats in need since our first edition! We’re in our 6th year with full theatrical distribution, and this year's event plays in over 250 theaters starting August 2nd!

You can visit our website and theater map at catvideofest.com to find a theater near you and come to a showing!

If you have questions about organizing a film festival, watching cat videos, catnip strains, or having the best job in the world, ask away!

I will be back here at 3 PM ET today to answer any questions/comments you may have! Please feel free to ask anything in the meantime.
