Classified as a horror and romance film, My Animal is the story of Heather, an outcast teen who falls for newcomer Jonny. As their relationship develops, Heather's desires clash with her darkest secret and she has to contain the animal within. 

People familiar with Timmins will recognize the scenery. 

The Sportsplex, Airport Hotel, Dubien's, and Bozzer Park all play a part. The Guiho family home was one of the main locations.
