Empty Pages (Storyboard Reel)
Khanstance for Voice Actor
Lead role for Laika Belsky, a 26 year old anthro dog woman who works as a steel factory worker in Moscow circa 1957. She's an eternal optimist, easily excitable, and has a hopeful outlook on the Cold War someday ending with peace. She loves studying the stars and outer space, so the launch of Sputnik in particular shoots her optimism to an all-time high. She's somewhat naive, and her fierce loyalty and patriotism to the Soviet Union leaves her vulnerable to exploitation from government forces. At the same time, Laika is also lonely and insecure about her place in the world, stemming from being orphaned during World War II. The trauma of losing her parents never really left her, and she wants nothing more than to be guided towards an ultimate purpose.

Being a speck in the universe is no reason to be insignificant. It could even make you the most valuable thing in it.
I've always wanted to write a book comparing everyday life here to everyday life in America. I suspect we're not as different as we want to think sometimes, and I want to learn for sure.
I don't know why they won't see the value in Sputnik. For all of time, a mammal-made object being put into the stars could only happen on the pages of science fiction stories. Now we've turned it into our reality. This is an extension of the revolution itself, yet those who hold it in the highest regard act as if this is its downfall.
