Team ANIMAL at Essence Film Festival '24

Animal is an award winning environmental creature horror short written by Eunice Levis & Michael Wells Jr.

Logline: Siblings discover toxic waste at a construction site and later face off against the monstrous result - a genetically altered rat.

Produced by Jenna Cavelle with Executive Producer Elvis Nolasco

Our team of activist storytellers are drawn to projects where stories and artists potentiate each other through a process that is primarily about the collective, rather than the individual.

Our recent win at Essence Film Festival exemplifies what's possible through such selfless, transformative collaboration. A dedicated, thoughtful team of artists, assembled from across the country in NOLA, to breathe life into this urgent story about communities of color in Philly fighting against the unseen horrors of environmental injustices.

Please consider donating to our project to help us on our journey to find the resources to turn our award-winning short screenplay into a live action short that will serve as a proof of concept for the feature film.
