My Animal Interview: Bobbi Salvör Menuez, Jae Matthews & Jacqueline Castel
2We’ve got yet another interview for a huge winner on the 2023 Sundance Film Festival Midnight line-up, Jacqueline Castel’s directorial debut, My Animal.
The film features a fantastic lead performance from Bobbi Salvör Menuez as Heather, a teen outcast living in a small northern town. When Heather, a hockey goalie, falls for Amandla Stenberg’s figure skater, Johnny, Heather finally starts to embrace her truth, but quickly finds herself up against local conformity, a clash that tests an especially powerful force within her because Heather comes from a family of werewolves.
While celebrating My Animal’s big debut at Sundance, Menuez, Matthews, and Castel took the time to visit the Collider Studio presented by Saratoga Spring Water to recap their journey from script to screen. Hear all about their approach to crafting a werewolf story, the local guardian angel who proved pivotal in making the movie happen, Menuez’s physical transformation for the role of Heather, and loads more.
You can catch it all in this My Animal interview!
Special thanks to our 2023 partners at Sundance including presenting partner Saratoga Spring Water and supporting partners Marbl Toronto, EMFACE, Sommsation, Hendrick’s Gin, Stella Artois, mou, and the all-electric vehicle, Fisker Ocean.
