Furry Chuck

Posted in , , ,

Written/Directed by Jacob Jester; Produced by Emily Peck

Chuck Bunbury is a pretty regular guy: suffers from anxiety, not too crazy about his job, dresses like an anthropomorphic chipmunk in his spare time…

Yes, Chuck is a Furry, and this year he and his buddy Thumper are entering his character—Durango Pennyfarthing, steampunk chipmunk—into Gryphon*Con’s costume contest. His main problem: an antagonistic dork named Loki, competitor in the competition and dead-set on defaulting the contest’s entry policy to ‘No Furries Allowed.’

With Loki, a moody celebrity guest star, and a torrent of less-than-Furry-friendly convention-goers, it’s up to two Furries to face the onslaught and defy convention!
