Hi Everyone! My name is Niki and I'm the Director of Development Services at Stage 32.
Lovely to meet everyone. I often share random facts about myself that are industry related during Introduce Yourself Weekends. This one's kind of a stretch but, did you know I owned a pet sitting company for 10 years? I am a massive animal lover and it was a great business and role for me. When I watch movies, I get very invested. I cry easily and openly. But when it comes to animals in movies my emotional reactions are amplified. Been this way my whole life! I have watched movies at home that I have had to pause because I'm sobbing so hard. It's very interesting to me the way people react to animals versus humans in movies. All that being said, a couple of my favorite movies (non-animated) with animals in the story are - Homeward Bound, White Fang, Gorillas in the Mist. How about you?
Favorite animal movies/shows?

Happy IYW, Niki H. I didn't know you owned a pet sitting company for 10 years. You just gave me an idea for a script! :D Thanks. I'm a massive animal lover too. Some of my favorite live-action animal movies are CHARLOTTE'S WEB, JAWS, MOUSEHUNT, and THE ADVENTURES OF MILO AND OTIS.
