Synopsis

Laura Franco (Barrera) is a young actress enduring a cancer diagnosis and upsetting relationship breakup when she discovers a terrifying, yet weirdly charming Monster (Dewey) living in her closet.

Cast

Production

Your Monster is from Merman Productions.[1] Lindy and Kayla Foster produced, with Shannon Reilly from Bombo Sports and Entertainment, and Kira Carstensen and Melanie Donkers for Mermade.[2] Barrera described the project to Collider as an “incredible indie movie that was so satisfying to me. And I've realized how smaller films are more creatively satisfying in a way because you get a lot more say, and it's like a real team effort. It's like basically everyone is kind of sacrificing a lot to do this very low budget thing and make it look good and make it the best that it can be, and having the highest hopes for something knowing that you don't have the huge back of a studio. I think it makes you hungrier.”[3] With news of the project coming soon after the release of her second film in the Scream Franchise made some call Berrera the new “scream queen”.[4]

Filming

The film was shot in twenty days in Hoboken, New Jersey.[5]
