Melissa Barrera, Tommy Dewey, Edmund Donovan and Kayla Foster to star in horror rom-com Your Monster

Melissa Barrera, Tommy Dewey, Edmund Donovan and Kayla Foster are all set to star in horror rom-com Your Monster which comes from writer and debutant-director Caroline Lindy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Caroline Lindy wrote and directed the feature, which is based on her 2019 short of the same name. Tommy Dewey, Edmund Donovan and Kayla Foster round out the cast. Filming on the new feature has already been wrapped.

The official logline reads that the film follows “an aspiring actress Laura Franco (Barrera), whose life falls apart after a cancer diagnosis and devastating breakup. The soft-spoken actress finds her voice again when she meets a terrifying, yet weirdly charming Monster (Dewey) living in her closet.”

Lindy has also produced the feature with Kayla Foster, Kira Carstensen and Melanie Donkers from Mermade. Shannon Reilly from Bombo Sports and Entertainment also served as a producer with Bombo’s Bob Potter and Dewey acting as executive producers. Jack Taylor Cox from Mermade and Jackson Sinder served as co-producers.

“Melissa and Tommy bring a romance and depth to their roles reminiscent of our favorite classic romantic comedies. Setting that chemistry in a genre mashup is something that I’m very excited to share with audiences,” said Lindy, who makes her feature debut on Your Monster.

“As a female-owned company, Merman is a proud mentor for WIF. When we saw Caroline’s short, we immediately knew the concept — and Caroline — were very special. Melissa coming on board to star alongside our monster Tommy Dewey took the project to the next level”, said producer and Merman’s global managing partner Kira Carstensen.
