My Animal Director On Werewolf Mythology & The Power Of Horror

Award-winning director Jacqueline Castel takes on her feature film debut in My Animal, a surprising werewolf movie that explores much more than the mythology at hand. Bobbi Salvör Menuez plays Heather, an outcast with a terrifying secret she must hide every full moon, whose life takes a sharp turn for the more romantic when she meets Jonny (Amandla Stenberg). The screenplay, written by Jae Matthews, is as much a meditation on inheritance and self-acceptance as it is a nail-biter about animal transformations.
