Directed by BAFTA winner Will Sharpe (Flowers), The Electrical Life of Louis Wain, documents the life of the eccentric Victorian artist, whose playful, sometimes even psychedelic pictures helped to transform the public’s perception of cats forever.

The real beauty of this film lies in the combination of traditional VFX (matte painting on canvas and analogue video techniques) with digital VFX as an innovative way of portraying Wain’s unstable mental health, and the cinematic representation of his unique style of painting. One of Us, led by VFX Supervisor Rupert Davies, had a crucial role in this process, adding digital visual effects as a way to blend art into reality and create unique surreal aesthetics.
