After losing her mother in a monster infested woodland, an inexperienced werewolf seeks guidance from a folklore enthusiast and a pair of hunters turned mentors. But with an upcoming blood moon, the stakes are high, and some will prove to be more supportive than others.

Set in the striking English countryside ‘Are We Monsters’ blends terror, mystery and magic together to play with the question of identity. Who are we and who decided?

Maya

A fiery inexperienced werewolf dragged into a world she wasn’t prepared for. Maya doesn’t hold back her thoughts but battles with the internal question of her identity and what kind of life she is allowed to lead. Should she fight to control the monster within, or let it consume her?

Luke

A lover of folklore, Luke has read every book under the Sun about “fantasy”. Brought up with a cushioned lifestyle, Luke is desperate to find adventure beyond the walls of his book bindings. Stumbling across Maya through his blog, Luke’s world is turned upside down as he finds out that the “myths” from his story books are all true.

Everett

From a long line of monster hunters, Everett must battle with internal conflict and decide whether to treat werewolves as the “monsters” his bloodline has trained him to kill, or see past tradition and follow his own path.

Connor

Trained to kill monsters and protect the innocent, Connor must adapt as the last silver bullets in existence are used up. Teaming up with Maya, Luke and Everett, Connor looks to new ways to stop a werewolf rampage and run damage control.

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