Here's an exciting work-in-progress. Growing Pains is a Danish animated short about a teenaged boy who turns into a werewolf whenever he gets horny. Being a teenager in love, this happens quite often! The short isn't finished yet, but the teaser looks like heaven for transformation fans:
The werewolf-as-puberty metaphor is frequently mentioned, but very few films, aside from Ginger Snaps, have really explored the idea. John Landis (director of An American Werewolf in London) has also suggested that the werewolf transformation is an erection metaphor, and Growing Pains seems to agree.
We hope Growing Pains will be a great success. To keep tabs on the production, go to its website.
This is now available to everyone from the film's facebook page http://www.facebook.com/GrowingPainsFilm or from http://firstladyfilm.dk/films/growing-pains/
ReplyDeleteYou can only rent it through Distrify though and it's one viewing only per rental.
Thanks very much for the tip! I'll make sure to mention that in the next update, which will be sometime next week.
