Private Project

Are We Monsters

A werewolf conflicted with identity, Maya seeks to understand the two sides of herself- before the consequences become deadly.

'Are We Monsters’ delves deep into the folklore of werewolves, Greek mythology & legend, then back to ask us important questions about identity, who we are, and who decides.

Director Statement

I’m a lover of folktales, myths, and legends that blend fantasy and reality. So, I wanted to bring a coming-of-age feature film together with fantasy that felt as much as an internal story as an external one.
