Scaredy Kat Presents follows eleven-year-old Kathryn, a girl living with social anxiety who finds the outside world – especially school – overwhelming. Even at home, she needs her mother to use a secret knock before entering her room. Kathryn’s refuge is stop-motion animation, where she spends her time cooped up in her room working on – in hopes of entering a film festival and winning a trip to Alfred Hitchcock’s old movie sets.

But nothing seems to go right, until Nadia moves in next door. Outgoing, confident and artistically talented, Nadia offers to help – and just might be the creative partner Kathryn needs. But letting someone in is scary. Can Kathryn trust her, or will Nadia turn out just like the classmates who once mocked her?

As tensions rise and an argument leads to a panic attack, their friendship is put to the test. Will they be able to see past their differences and finish the film together? At its heart, Scaredy Kat Presents is a tender story about anxiety, dreams and friendship – a reminder that even Hitchcock had Anna, and that none of us are ever truly alone.
