My Animal arrives on September 8.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 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 .
Color, for sure, was something that was really important to me as a metaphor for the relationship between Heather and Jonny, and also as this metaphor for where Heather is emotionally. Are her emotions in a low place or a high place? I was really using that to reinforce where the character is at. When I went out to Bobbi, it was just an immediate yes on the project and the material, and they were so excited. And on our first call, Bobbi's like, "Who are you thinking about for Jonny?" I said, "Well, Amandla Stenberg is my top pick." And then Bobbi got very excited because the two of them were friends, and they knew each other from the queer scene in New York and LA.
Jacqueline Castel: Initially, the dream sequence was scripted to happen in Heather's bedroom. It was interesting because I already had a lot of ideas for the love scene, how I wanted to approach it, and some of the stylistic choices I wanted to make for it. I wanted to reinforce some elements of that in the dream sequence as a foreshadowing technique, so I knew I kind of wanted to set them in the same world.
And that's what I was struggling with because when it's a really potent scene that's really emotionally driven, I just knew exactly where I wanted to go with it.
