In New York City, on a beautiful spring morning I met up with the directors Andy Capper and Juliette Eisner for a conversation on their film Lil Bub & Friendz, which will have its World Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. The high-spirited film captures the adventures of "a tiny complex creature", who found her way from "somewhere in space," to become one of the most beloved cats on the internet.

I asked how the cats featured in the movie were chosen and Andy Capper told me: "We wanted the big names. An A-list cast. [Could Capper be using an anagram here?] Like in Ocean's Eleven you have Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, George Clooney. We have Grumpy Cat, Nyan Cat, Keyboard Cat, Lil Bub - the main dudes. We wanted an all-star cast."

Anne-Katrin Titze: First question, of course, how is Bub?

Andy Capper: Good, I think. »
