Rabbit Fever is a 2010 feature-length documentary film directed by Amy Do, about the competition at the 2005 National Convention of the American Rabbit Breeders' Association (ARBA), the largest assemblage of rabbits in the world.[1]
The film has found support from, among others, the Ignatz Award-winning artist Jeffrey Brown, who illustrated the movie poster.[2] It was shown at the 8th San Francisco Documentary Film Festival in October 2009 as a work-in-progress.[3] The final work officially premiered in 2010.
Rabbit Fever was originally developed as a 20-minute project for Do's film class at the University of Southern California. Do was encouraged by her instructor, director Charles Braverman to expand it into a feature-length film.[4]
After much demand from her fans in the Rabbit Show community, Amy Do has made a Limited Release of her film which was and currently can be purchased on her website. It was released and shipped to the fans on September 12, 2012, nearly 9 years since the convention it was filmed at had occurred and nearly 3 years since the film was produced and aired for the first time.
