After her mother dies, a woman with Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) must campaign against the plans of her estranged grandmother to sell the family home and send her away.  To gain the support she needs, she must first channel an explosive temper into something more positive…Krump dance.

Boss Cat is a Bus Stop Films production in association with WeirAnderson Films. Major production investment from Screen Australia in association with Screen NSW and WeirAnderson Films. Madman Entertainment is distributing in Australia and New Zealand. Developed with assistance of Screen Australia and Screen NSW and WeirAnderson Films.

Funded by the federal government Department of Social Services via a Building Employer Confidence grant, the Inclusive Crewing Project supported the largest disability employment on a feature film in Australia.

Bus Stop Films employed over 10 people with disability on the production across the 21 days of filming in key crew departments including camera, production, hair and make up, sound, lighting and directing, editing, making this the largest attachment program for people with disability on a long form film.

Bus Stop Films brought together their inclusive filmmaking practices and principles to support these 10 individuals alongside an infrastructure supported by key Candidate Placement Coordinators and on Set Support workers.

A true case study in the value add of inclusive employment and meaningful career pathways for people from the Deaf, Disabled and Nerodiverse community.
